6:00 pm
i'm laura ingram, in for bill o'reilly. please remember, the spin stops right here, because we're always looking out for you. in this fox news alert, we're awaiting results from today's special election in massachusetts as voters cast their ballots to pick a senator vacated by john kerry. edward markey and gabriel gomez. we'll have much more on the massachusetts special election later on this hour. we'll check in with former senator scott brown, live at the gomez campaign headquarters in boston. first, the other big story tonight comes out of washington where the president and vice president concluded a meeting with congressional leadership on immigration reform. now, that high profile oval office sitdown took place as we are just days away from a final
6:01 pm
vote on the senate version of this bill. earlier today, harry reid predicted that the measure would be brought to the floor for consideration on either thursday or friday. however, one outspoken conservative on capitol hill is not leaving anyone guessing where he stands on this matter, and that's rand paul. he's penned a column entitled why i'm voting no on immigration reform. he made his decision for one simple reason, because the legislation does not secure the borders first. here to explain the decision is the man himself, senator rand paul, senator, welcome back. >> good to be with you, sean. >> it's pretty simple to me, that this was something that from the very beginning conservatives who had been against any plan for legalization or green cards like yourself would have changed your mind if we secure the border first. why didn't they listen? >> i told them from the beginning, i was open to immigration reform as long as it
6:02 pm
was dependent on securing the border first. i was very explicit about this. apparently nobody listened or cared. i also thought it was important that when we determined whether the border is secure, that congress should determine this not the president. i don't have a lot of trust left over for the current president. but i really don't trust any president to make this decision. i think congress, the representatives of the people should determine whether the border's secure. >> i was a little surprised, page 35, line 24, in a politan know has veto power -- the power to veto the border fence and where to put it in the immigration bill. that was surprising to me too. >> the irony, they threw in a billion and a half dollars for some kind of youth jobs program. that's as much as they were going to spend on the fence. they also threw in a veto for janet innapolitano to veto the fence. the president thinks the border's secure now, i don't have a great deal of hope that
6:03 pm
she won't just veto the fence. >> you deal with your colleagues every day. don't they believe that america has the right to sovereign borders? what do they tell you? >> i think many are running scared and want to just pass something. it doesn't matter what is in the bill. they want to be in favor of immigration reform. and i'm in favor of it, but the details are important. i tried to read the bills, it's 1,200 pages, we got it on monday. we worked our way through it as quickly as we can. i think for some, it's the symbolism of this, and they're not too concerned whether we allow veto over the fence or we throw a billion and a half in there for a jbs program. >> i always expected that the house would only do border security. my sources in washington tonight are telling me that the leading bill that is being discussed in the house of representatives is a bill that would give a five-year temporary legal status to illegal immigrants.
6:04 pm
and then if the border's not secure, it would be revoked. are you hearing the same thing? >> i'm hearing a little bit of that, and i'm hoping that's not the plan, because i think once you give status, it's never coming back. that's why my amendment secured the border. you vote on it, when it's secure, you begin gradually normalizing the people, you still get more votes. each year you get another vote. i spoke to one of the leading conservatives on the judiciary committee on the house today. he said he was interested in my idea. i'm continuing to talk to conservatives in the house, with the hope they will vote with congress, to decide when the border is secure. and they won't start the process until we secure the border. >> my fear is they will pass border security first. you go to conference, and at a conference the senate bill would tend to win, and then what does speaker boehner do at that point? do you have any idea? have you spoken to him?
6:05 pm
>> i was pleased to hear his comments earlier in the week. the speaker said he was not going to pass something unless the majority of republicans are for it. the chance that we get the senate bill. the only chance the senate bill could pass in the house is if it passes with 30 or 40 republicans and 180 democrats. if speaker boehner's going to hold to his word and say it has to have a majority of republicans, i think we'll get a better bill, i'm hoping they'll say, let's do this stepwise, we can call it comprehensive, let's are triggers that will make it a stepwise bill where border security is first. and then legalization comes after we know the border is secure. >> what did you think of the president's speech today when he said he would sidestep congress to implement his global warming initiative? >> i think he has a pattern of this, and this is one reason why a lot of us in the country are worried about which way and which direction he's taking the country. i don't like the idea of
6:06 pm
unelected bureaucrats writing law and making law. if he tries to do this, we will have a vote in the senate. we have something called the congressional review act. and if he writes a regulation or tries to have a new carbon tax without us voting on it, we will force a vote on it. the question is, can we defeat him, or will the democrats stay lock step behind him, and that's what they've done in the past. >> one of the saddest things as we're watching this whole edward snowden fiasco unfold and vladimir putin thumbing his nose -- his thumb in the eye of america, the wall street journal writes tonight, america is impoe ten the. do you think they view us as weak, our enemies? >> i think it's hard to tell. i think there's a great deal of sympathy around the world for privacy on the internet. in fact i hear from some of the internet service providers, and the search engine people, that their trouble isn't really with anger in america right now, their trouble is with anger in europe, people really upset
6:07 pm
about their privacy being inv e invaded. i think there's a lot of sympathy out there, maybe not necessarily for the idea of who the leaker is, but for the concept of privacy. i think there's a lot of sympathy around the world for that. >> let me ask you, there was a pew poll that came out, you look at the scandals and all the issues we're discussing, gun control, immigration and global warming are at the lowest level in terms of people's priorities. the most frequent words are incompetent and liar. what does that -- what is your take on that? and what should the president take out of that? >> well, i think the constellation of scandals are adding up, and they're multiplying. i really think they're sapping his moral authority to lead the nation. you don't need just the legal authority to be president. you have to have some moyeral authority, you have to have people supporting what you're doing. i think people are concerned, particularly even his constituency.
6:08 pm
he won like 60, 70% of the youth vote. the young people in this country wanted privacy, he thought he'd be their champion. it turns out he's having the nsa look at a billion phone records every day. i think people don't like that kind of hypocrisy. and so i think it is damaging him. i don't think he's going to be able to get much done in the last four years unless he really cleans house and says, i'm not going to tolerate my people lying to congress. i'm not going to tolerate irs agents targeting conservatives or christians. unless he does that, i think he's lost ground. >> rand paul, good to see you, thanks for being with us. coming up, a busy news night, vladimir putin literally laughed at the obama administration's request to extradite edward snowden back to the u.s. time for you to pick tonight's video of the day, option number one, our friends at the media research center quizzed college students about

6:12 pm
we're awaiting results from today's massachusetts senate special election. at this hour, the race is still too close to call between the
6:13 pm
democratic congressman ed markey, and gabriel gomez. we'll bring you the results as soon as we get them. we'll also hear tonight from scott brown, live at the gomez headquarters in boston. that's coming up. after 24 hours of uncertainty about where exactly the so-called nsa whistle-blower has been hiding out, vladimir putin confirmed today that snowden is currently inside a transit area of a moscow airport. now, the white house was asked monday what it would expect of russia if snowden were to surface there. here again, jay carney. >> given our intensified cooperation with russia after the boston marathon bombings and our history of working with russia on law enforcement matters including returning numerous high level criminals back to russia at the request of the russian government that we do expect the russian government to look at all the options available to them to expel mr.
6:14 pm
snowden back to the united states. >> sorry, jay, the president's friend vladimir laughed off that suggestion saying snowden has not broken any laws and is a free man. you can add russia to the list of countries that no longer take the u.s. seriously. here with reaction, fox news contributor, katie and lish. we have hong kong, china and russia rubbing their noses in the fact that they're not going to cooperate with us. i thought the president solved all these issues with russia when he pulled the missiles out of poland and elsewhere. >> there's no question, it's political football going back and forth. the president has made this a priority. he's charging edward snowden under the espionage act, there have only been 10 indictments in
6:15 pm
history under those. two indictments under against snowden, and seven under the obama administration, he's coming down hard on him, and has said in a press conference on monday he will do everything he can under the law to bring him back for prosecution. >> to what extent, katie do you think this is about, nobody's afraid of obama. they're enjoying the vacuum that exists in the world, and they're more than willing to fill it because they don't fear this country any more? >> absolutely, i think it's laughable to say this is obama's priority when he was given a speech about climate change today which no one cares about. in terms of the vacuum, this situation has been an opportunity for countries like cuba, china and russia to work together. and despite what jay carney said about our relationship with russia, we don't have a good relationship with russia. vladimir putin made it clear it's obama's second term, they're going to take advantage
6:16 pm
of his weakness. mitt romney said it, watch out for russia, and here we are. >> is snowden a hero or a traitor? season the the real error that a 29-year-old kid working for a defense contractor had access to america's top secrets? isn't that the big problem here, emily? >> i don't disagree with you. i think when we become fixated on having a smaller and smaller government, there are functions that need to be carried out and we look to contract them. i think that should be something we look at that's come out of this entire situation. >> what did you think when putin said no, and kerry came out and said, the u.s. does not want a confrontation with russia? they already started the confrontation, stand up for yourself. >> yeah, we already have a confrontation with russia, we've had one for a very long time.
6:17 pm
if anyone watched the press conference between obama and putin recently, we know there's conflict there. once again, this situation proves they saw this coming, they're taking advantage of the situation to show they're not willing to work with the united states. i doubt the russians would even try this with many other former presidents. i bet putin wouldn't say if one of our spies were in his airport he was free. that would be a neutral area. they're keeping snowden there, because it's embarrassing for the united states, gives them an opportunity to hold power over our heads, they're going to continue to do it. >> what did you think, emily, the fact that the obama administration never asked interpol to issue a red notice for snowden which could have stopped him from traveling? >> look, he's hiding out in the airport right now, and so putin gave himself a little bit of room. it's the end of the day are we
6:18 pm
going to send drones over russia for this? these are situations that come and go but the presidents that stayed on track. snowden has created a circus out of this, this is a perfect media story. we don't know where he is. he's created a circus around it. but the president is not letting it become a total distraction. his speech on climate today was a preplanned speech. >> you're missing the point. >> well, it -- >> he's moving forward with very serious priorities of administration, and not becoming a total distraction. >> the point is, that the obama administration has made this into a chaotic disaster. ed snowden came out as the leaker on june 9th, it took two weeks for the state department to pull his passport. that should have been done immediately. there should have been someone in hong kong, from the cia questioning him, instead he got to go out on the chinese media. and now he's in russia and
6:19 pm
they're going to give him asylum as long as possible. and vladimir putin again looks like the winner. it's putin versus obama right now and it's not looking good. >> emily, i think you missed the point. the world no longer takes america seriously, our foreign policy, you don't see this as a poke in america's eye? >> well, certainly, i also think that bob craft of the new england patriots would say the same thing. even if the senior defense fellow said this should not be considered a top priority he did say, this would not be on par with something like iran this is not quite at that level, so we shouldn't elevate it to that. >> thank you, guys. climate change. an issue that americans view as one of the least important problems we face as a country. that is exactly what president

according to the associated press, ed markey has won the massachusetts senate special election, defeating gabrielle gomez. despite the fact that americans view global warming as one of the least important issues of
6:25 pm
our team, that is exactly what president obama decided to turn his attention to today. and divert his attention away from one of the many scandals occur i occurring what makes matters worse, he intends to implement each and every aspect of this without the approval of congress. >> today for the sake of our children and the health and safety of all americans, i'm directing the environmental protection agency to put an end to the limitless dumping of carbon pollution from our power plants and complete new pollution standards for both new and existing power plants. what is true, is that we can't just grill our way out of the energy and climate challenge that we face. that's not possible. i put forward the energy
6:26 pm
strategy. it must be about more than producing more oil. i'm directing the interior department to power more than 6 million homes by 2020. my budget once again calls for congress to end the tax breaks for big oil companies and invest in the clean energy companies that will fuel our future. >> it sounds like he's taking advice from some of his climate advisers. a war on coal is exactly what's needed. it's another troubling example. how the administration is putting their left wing agenda ahead of the job growth. do you think it's a distraction? >> you know, i think this is the president using phony science to kill real jobs. i'm sure he's interested in what this will do for the political base. we watched him over the years
6:27 pm
willing to sacrifice national security for other objectives. and the science is just simply bogus. we know that temperatures have been stable for 15 years and the president is going after the coal industry. coal produces 40% of the electricity in this nation. it's real jobs, real people all over this country. i'm from wyoming, people are starting to say, it's not just a war on coal, it's a war in wyoming. >> it's funny, the republic pointed out over the last 15 years global warming slowed down. they're acknowledging it. >> what do you think of the plan the president used today.
6:28 pm
>> i heard one of the president's supporters after the speech saying, elections have consequences. i have to agree, they do have president was not able to get this very radical climate agenda through when his own party was in control in both houses of congress. he's left to try to push it through by executive order. it's very dangerous. luckily there will be some time here there's a process that even the epa has to go through. he likes to go around the world and claim that somehow he's increased our exploitation of our own fossil fuels here, we had a 70% reduction in leases for oil drilling in the last few years. we are in a position where we could have an energy renaissance in this nation, we could have an economic renaissance as a result, we could truly be energy independent and it simply makes no sense that the president seems dedicated to ensuring that
6:29 pm
we have a decline in our prosperity, that we extend the period of time that we're dependent on foreign sources for our energy supplies and once again, he's hurting real people. he likes to talk about the big energy companies. these are real americans, real american families, people whose jobs depend on things like the coal industry. and we simply have to elect better people who are going to stand up to him, and who won't go along with these kinds of dangerous policies. >> pretty revealing when one of his climate advisers says a war on coal is what's needed. let's go back to the 2012 campaign where obama is embra embracing coal and knocking romney in one of their radio adds. >> when he ran for president, barack obama pledged to support clean coal and invest in new technologies. coal productions increased 7% since obama took office. ohio coal jobs are up 10% obama's also made one of
6:30 pm
america's largest investments ever in clean coal technology. a $5 billion effort to create the next generation of coal fired plants. and under obama, natural gas production is at an all time high, with shale gas deposits across appalachia. thousands of good jobs are on the way. mitt romney is attacking the president's record on coal. here's what romney said in front of a coleman the. >> i will not create jobs or hold jobs that kill people. >> and that -- >> who's been honest and who's playing politics. >> that's not honest? >> no, i think frankly any voter who lives in one of these coal producing states who votes to send to washington somebody who's going to be supportive of this president and policies, they're going to deserve what they get. at the end of the day, though,
6:31 pm
we can't trust this president's word. one of the big pushes in this speech was the idea that we have to basically cut our own carbon emotions because then we'll be an example. they'll be able to get the chinese and the indians to cut theirs. i kept thinking about, that's his approach on nuclear weapons. he says, we're going to cut our own stockpiles. because we'll get the iranians and north koreans to cut theirs. no one listens to this president any more. he's going to destroy the real potential, the real opportunity. he's going to raise energy prices across the country. there's no way you're going to get the chinese or the indians to follow suit. we have results out of massachusetts, the ap is reporting that ed markey has won that special election in massachusetts. up next, we'll check in with former massachusetts senator scott brown, standing by live at

6:39 pm
based on decade's old data. the supreme court is asking congress to come up with a new formula. liberals are voicing outrage. joining me with reaction, alex rush, juan williams. what do you disagree with the decision here, it's fairly common sense -- >> i think it's not outdated. if you're pointing back to 1965 when the voting rights act was passed, that would be outdated, no question. in the last election, section five, the prescleerns provision was used by the justice department to go into texas and say that the way the state had been gerrymandered depressed the latino vote. same thing, look at the voter i.d., they were able to delay -- >> if you look at atlanta, cynthia mckinney's old district, that went down from atlanta to
6:40 pm
savannah. it works on both sides. >> you're right, you're exactly right. i think the way the gerrymand gerrymandering is working right now is distorsion. it's not allowing expression -- >> look, eric -- what john roberts said, it would have been irrational if they started from scratch in 2006, it would be irrational for congress to distinguish between states in such a fundamental way with 40-year-old data. >> i think anything that deludes the federal influence of the government in the state's voting process is going to be frowned upon by this administration with their imperial policies and all of that, if this is going to facilitate these things like voter i.d. and anti-fraud measures which is something the administration isn't going to want that liberals aren't going to want, because they're going
6:41 pm
to allow fraudulent practices to continue. this administration wants laxitity. when you have widespread instances of voter fraud coming up, when you have entire segments of the demographic of voters totalling more than the population of demographics in this area, the states have to step in and do something, and holder has been -- eric holder, the attorney general has been fighting that for a long time on this pretext that there's a lot of discrimination and there's this gerrymandering that's going toward racial -- that it's racially motivated, when the fact is, that it is not. >> why then juan when we have the new black panther party with their batons and their military garb -- are you smiling? >> well, look. >> you want to equate that with
6:42 pm
the right to vote? >> you want to talk history, sean, let's talk about people given literacy tests. >> that doesn't happen today. that's what justice roberts was saying. you think in 1965, barack obama a black american could be elected president? >> in 1965, of course not. >> the world's changed, that's roberts point. >> no, it's not the point. the formula was old and there's no longer this need for protecti protection, and what i just said to you was, just last year in texas, the justice department filed suit, judges agreed this was an outrageous act of depressing minority turnout. let me speak to eric's point for a second. >> no one cared about the new black panther party in 2008. >> no one ever said they didn't vote or felt intimidated. it was one guy. you're making a big deal. one black person shows up and you say, oh, my god, he's threatening to you? >> i wouldn't want to go into a
6:43 pm
polling booth when i have two guys with batons. >> it was a black neighborhood, nobody even noticed the guy. >> nobody? >> really. >> so i guess that's okay now? it's acceptable, standard we can send -- the guys can be in with batons in front of polling places? >> no. >> he was convicted, by the way, he was convicted and told not to do it again. but what's the -- how are you going to compare that to what's going on in states that have blocked black people from voting? >> this is, you know, pointing to the past is a nonsek witter. nobody's saying there shouldn't be any oversite at all. pointing to the things that occurred in the past is not germane to what's going on now. we have far more of a problem with dead voters and entire
6:44 pm
blocks of voters getting abducted by aliens or not being able to be found and please don't interrupt me. >> i'm sorry, i'm -- >> then we have with minorities being preventsed from voting. the -- this is a pretext, that this administration has been fighting, these conditions do not exist any more. and i agree with the high court. >> on a positive note. the country thankfully rightly so has made a lot of progress, and what the court was saying here is, you can't use 40-year-old outdated data as it relates to this. and i think the point was 100% correct. >> one last point, which is republicans, when this thing was expanded. the republicans and the republican house voted, it was 390-33, they said yes the formula still holds. >> they did, but i think they were wrong. and i think the court agrees with me. >> okay. >> they may have been playing politics too. >> come on. >> not playing politics, there's
6:45 pm

welcome back to hannity, day two of the george zimmerman murder trial. aside from the prosecution, asking the judge to allow 911 calls to be played in the courtroom prosecutors questioned zimmerman about his neighborhood
6:50 pm
watch job and the specifics about what his duties entailed, take a look. >> do you address specifically when a neighborhood watch person is to do if they see someone acting suspicious? >> yes, i do. >> and what is that? >> if someone is acting suspicion, you call 911. >> do you tell them to do anything else at this point? >> no, i don't. >> what do you tell participants about confronting someone that may be involved in criminal behavior. >> not to confront, to let us do the job. >> was he polite, courteous and respectful? >> yes, every time. >> you're not suggesting in anyway if you're attacked you're not allowed to defend yourself? >> no, not at all. likewise, there's no discussion, is there about firearms specifically? >> no, there are some meetings that do bring that subject up. >> there was reaction that unnoelded in the courtroom today. mark fuhrman and prosecutor
6:51 pm
nicolita is with us. >> i think what they did, they're starting to slowly paint this picture of george zimmerman who law and order, but in the end to a fault because it caused a young man to die. he applied to the police department, but basically, you told him, they asked her, you told her -- you told people not to follow? yes, that's what we said. call the police. here's a guy that so wanted to be the hero, he wanted to be the cop, he was willing to not follow the rules. that's what happened. >> we talked about this last night, the standard of proof or a guilty verdict here for the charge that they made is very high. can they meet that standard by just making that -- painting that picture that anne is talking about? >> well, i actually agree with anna, but i want to put forth the defense is winning the prosecution case here. the defense is taking advantage
6:52 pm
of the prosecution trying to paint george zimmerman. you have 47 other calls where nothing occurs. that's not going to go in their favorite. they may paint him to be an overzealous police wanna be that wants to take the law into his own hands, the only time that occurred is when he has physical injuries. today was a defense day when they put on neighborhood watch. it's not a sanctioning body, there's no rules in stone, nobody that will fire you or give you a day off or rescue because you don't follow neighborhood watch rules. i think it was a defense. >> the flip side of that is that they're saying, here's the guy that wants to get the pat on the back. he made the previous 47 calls. >> exactly. >> when you hear him on the phone, if this is the way the evidence plays out, he's saying these punks always get away. he wants to make sure someone
6:53 pm
doesn't get away on his watch. >> mark, one other thing that happened today, they brought on this woman that saw a little bit of the scuffle, but then -- it seemed like it was going to be points for the prosecution, then the defense comes in, and they totally blow this person out of the water by exposing them as being anti-george zimmerman? >> it destroyed her, i think more important than catching her having signed a petition for the prosecution, i think what's more important is the spectators, the legal analysts saying that she sounded coached, and then three depositions where she never mentioned a movement that she noticed left to right or right to left and all of a sudden today she knew it was left to right, which would mean he's moving away from his vehicle, which plays into the prosecution case. >> she signed the petition, to prosecute the murderer of our
6:54 pm
son, trayvon martin. >> good point. i don't think she's ultimately going to be that important. she doesn't start to give a piece of ultimately, she hears something, hears either it's no or ah, that part she was always consistent with, you have trayvon martin's body. we're going to have witnesses that will be much more pivotal in this case. >> mark, good to see you, anna, good to see you, when we come back, your pick for the video of the day, next.
