10:00 pm
a lottery expert says your odds won't improve that much if you buy one ticket or 1,000 tickets. buy one. they recommend you pick your own numbers rather than let the computer do it. good luck opinion. let me know on twitter if you win. pickingour ow numbers rather than let the computer do it. good luck! let me know if you win! tonight, the united states senate has voted to advance a so-called bipartisan budget deal. what the supporters of this plant don't want you to know is the devil is in the details and senator marco rubio is here to expose the truth about this agreement and why he was a no vote on this gislation, just the beginning of this tuesday night edition of hannity. straight ahead. >> how do you do that? ow >> how do you do that? how do you balance the budget? >> you have to learn how to say no. >> we have uncovered the future 40th president of the united states chilling 1975 warning to america.
10:01 pm
government's the problem. >> it is almost a false argument to say we have a spending problem. >> not according to the newly released 2013 waste book. wait until you hear how your government is spending your hard earned tax dollars. tis the season for another hawaiian get away for the obama family. guess what, you're footing the bill. all that plus a new lawsuit against the teen drunk driver who killed four people but ruled too rich go to jail and the tragic murder of a 30-year-old new jersey man shot after christmas shopping with his wife. hannity starts right here right now. welcome to hannity. this afternoon harry reid scraped together enough votes in the senate to advance what is being touted as a bipartisan budget bill, but what supporters of the bill are not telling you, it includes what one gop lawmaker calls the unthinkable cuts to veterans' benefits.
10:02 pm
that despite the fact the legislation will hurt future military retirees, each and every democrat voted yes and more troubling they were joined hand-in-hand by 12 republicans, senators alexander, blount, chambliss, collins, blake, hogan, isaacson, johnson, mcc n mccain, mourkowski and portman. fortunate the others had the guts to stand up and oppose the plan. here's what senator lindsey ab. >> president obama, don't sign this bill in its current form. we've got until january 15th, you, above everybody here, has a responsibility to take care of those who serve, who are retired, going to retire soon and in the future. you are the commander in chief. mr. president, do not let this happen. >> now, a final vote on the bill in the senate is expected no later than tomorrow. tonight, we want you to join the conversation.
10:03 pm
log onto our facebook page. would you support the so-called bipartisan deal? sound o on twitter, use the har #hannity, my twitter address. this and much more. one of the few lawmakers refusing to support the plan, senator rubio, welcome back. >> thanks for having me back. merry christmas. >> merry christmas. a great way to start. why do you oppose and tell me your interpretation of the impact on the military. >> on the military side it's important to start with that. these men and women serving us in the armed forces will be impacted particularly those retired and depending on those retired benefits now will be reduced under this law. the more fundamental problem broader than that, this is a budget that basically continues to spend more money for our government than it takes in. it doesn't seriously deal with the debt not just from my opinion but the opinion of almost everyone who observed it from that perspective and increases spending by $62
10:04 pm
billion over the next four years but promises to pay for it in the next 10. it never happens. these spending cuts that were put in place three years ago, part of the big fight that happened then basically almost wiped out. big problem and why you saw almost every republican in the senate vote ah intelligence it. >> also -- vote against it. >> also double counting. you're right. you will spend the first the first two years and won't cut the money until the last two years, years nine and 10 of the deal, isn't that right? >> that's right. that's a gimmick used in washington to do these sorts of budget deals and basically ask you for the money up front and promise to pay it back. just right now we're already breaking a promise to hold the line on spending if you vote for this budget. imagine two, four, six years from now. >> we keep hearing this is a tactical difference. if only republicans could win in 2014, and one year from now in january 2015, then we can really do something. in january of 2015, isn't barack
10:05 pm
obama still president? does that mean we have to wait until january 2017 before they really fight on these things? >> that's the point. every year we get told the same thing, we need to wait until next year. it's not possible to do these things now. and meanwhile the debt continues to grow. we have a very dangerous debt ed an it's the reason why we have a government that continues to grow the debt and economy not creating enough jobs because this issue goes unresolved. people look at this and look at the dysfunction in washington and inability now it appears of leaders in both parties to tackle this issue in a serious and meaningful way and they conclude america is not prepared to bring the debt under control and that discourages people from starting businesses and it is hurting americans in different ways. >> a pugh research poll came out showing he's losing his base. another poll came out the president his approval rating at
10:06 pm
the end of his fifth year in office, he's second to nixon in terms of the lowest number. isn't that an opportunity, in terms of conservatives, if they go out and sell their big solution oriented ideas they can actually probably -- there's an open mind in the country for new ideas? >> yeah. absolutely. i think that's exactly the opportunity that lies before us. a couple things to remember. when this president was elected in 2008, think about the fundamental promises he made, he was going to bring people together. in fact, he's divided people perhaps more than any president in modern political history pitting americans against each other saying they're struggling because it is somebody else's fault. he's broken that promise. and then he also said he was in it to help the middle class get ahead and we have millions underemployed. and unemployed. people are starting to feel real desperate about the future. they've concluded they're either one bad break away from losing everything or feel trapped in dead-end jobs they can't get ahead of or maybe
10:07 pm
even people living out their american dream are increasingly worried their children may not have the chance to live their american dream. you go five or six years on a presidency you have failed on basically every fundamental premise of your candidacy, of course you will see numbers like that. the opportunity we have is exactly what you outlined to show people how our principles of limited government and free enterprise and core family and traditional values that made our country so strong, how we can apply those principles to the unique challenges of today to help people fulfill the american dream and get ahead. >> we have a clip of reagan on johnny carson so long ago, we will play it in the next segment. kathleen sebelius finally admitted the truth, yes, many people will see an increase in their premiums. i want to play this for you. >> well, i think that there are some individuals who may be looking at increases. i think you cannot make a
10:08 pm
statement based on cost unless you compare what they had to what they're going into. >> isn't it a lot more than that, though? i've read estimates as high as 100 million people will be paying more, getting new plans, not keeping their doctors, higher deductibles. >> deductibles is a huge problem and now you have people who have due ductables as high as 10 or $12,000 and some 3 or $4,000. that's money you have to come out-of-pocket with. if you don't have that money, you're basically uninsured and your insurance doesn't kick in until you kick in the cash first. and for a lot of people that makes it unaccessible for many. and lose access to doctors, specialty care and doctors they've been seeing. none of this was talked four or five years ago when this law was passed. >> they told us just the opposite why i think the president politically won't be able to recover. quick question, jay carney asked whether obama will sign up for
10:09 pm
oba obamacare. here's the reaction. >> has the president signed up for insurance yet? >> i have no updates on that. the president will purchase insurance on the exchange. >> he doesn't have to do it? >> obviously, the enrollment is still march 31st. when we have an update on it we'll provide it to you. our guidance on that has not changed. >> what exchange it will be and will we get a chance -- >> i don't have any new information on that beyond what we said in the past, which is that he will. >> senator daryl issa on this program last night said it's not safe. there's no security on this website. i recommend the president not do it. he's the president of the united states. >> i think what he will find when he ultimately does, unless he wants to pay a fine to the irs, is what he will find is less choices, higher premiums, less deductibles and less options for doctors and what millions of americans are experiencing unfortunately. this will only get worse and worse. in the new year more people will get hurt by this and something has to happen even before the
10:10 pm
election. >> senator, good to see you. thanks for being with us. merry christmas. >> merry christmas. and conservatives you can't afford to miss. >> i still say the answer to our problems in this country, even at the national level, is to have a law that says there is a percentage limit of the people's earnings that government cannot go beyond without -- [ applause ] >> there he was, future 40th president of the u.s. offering common sense solutions on the johnny carson show. what else he told the legendary carson and ainslie erhardt all coming up when we return and dana and stewart, straight ahead.

10:14 pm
the u.s. on johnthy carson. this was back in 1975. although it was 38 years ago the message delivered that night by >> i still say the answer to the problems in our country, even at the national level, is to have a law that says there is a percentage limit of the people's earnings that government cannot go beyond without the consent of -- [ cheers and applause ] >> we ought to have tax reform and we ought to start making it so simple you don't have to hire a lawyer to find out how much you owe every year. >> that's for sure. it used to be a little simplified but not anymore >> johnny, we live in the only country in the world it makes more brains to figure out your income tax than it does to earn the income. >> they give me a choice of $53 billion of the deficit and the budget deficit is causing inflation, i don't see there's room to be on either
10:15 pm
side of the argument. the answer to curing inflation is a balanced budget. >> how do you do that? how do you balance the budget? >> balancing the budget -- >> don't spend more than you take in. >> like protecting your virtue. you have to learn to say no. [ laughter ] >> here with reaction, the author of "america hope for change" former american governor bob erlich and juan williams. what part of that stood out in your mind? if there's one thing that really stood out to me. i wonder if you caught it. do you know what it is? >> he's a wonderful guy. a charmer. the part that stood out to me was he said, you know, you should have tax reform, it should be so simple anybody can file their taxes without hiring all these crazy accountants. >> bob, what stood out to you? >> common sense. >> common sense. he's talking about a $53 billion budget deficit, not a 1.3 or 4 trillion budget deficit, right? >> chump change today,
10:16 pm
absolutely. juan, you have to love that. not just the charm. at the time, don't forget the left wing press was dismissing this b grade actor, this has been, not too smart. he's a cold warrior and all that. what you just saw, that's the reason people love this guy. come old-fashioned sense that should be in fashion. >> i have a plan to balance the budget in five years and tell me where i'm wrong. we're going to hold federal spending and cut one penny every year that the government spends. sound like a good idea to you? . sound like a good idea to you? >> not at a time the deposit is not spdi >> not at a time, in fact the government is not spending money and it's hurting our ability to recover from a very deep recession. ronald reagan, in that clip you played, sean, talked about how deficits impact inflation and drive up inflation. we don't have inflation right now. inflation and drive up inflation.
10:17 pm
we don't have inflation right now. >> we have a fed pumping $85 billion a month to prop up our economy. when they stop feeding that beast, what do you think will happen? >> 17 trillion dollars debt and economy very sick, unemployment rate now has sustained 7 plus. we know, sean and juan, unemployment is really 10-12%. i talk about this in my book, not just the economic, the whole dependence culture and 50 million people on food stamps, this whole thing that dependence is cool again. our economy is sick and culture is sick, in my view. >> also 90 trillion in unfunded liable. juan, you're saying eag though we have trillion dollar deficit, 7 trillion plus new obama debt, you're saying that's not enough, we can still continue to rob
10:18 pm
future generations blind. that, to me, was moral issue. would you ever steal money from your own son who's been on this country, i don't think you would. we're robbing our kids blind. why do you support stealing like that? i don't understand it. >> you put it in very stark moral terms. i would also say we have a lot of people as the governor was just explaining we have people out of work. >> only going to cut one penny out of every dollar we spend and you're saying we can't live on that. >> i'm telling you right now given the government is a major part of our economy and the government is pursuing austerity pulling back, i think we're slowing down economic recovery, slowing down, big corporations having the confidence to use the cash they've been stockpiling to hire people, sean. >> what are we going to do? how much more do you want to spend? is there any limit to your spending desires? >> sean, can i answer that for a
10:19 pm
second? i'm not subscribing to juan, but in congress this progressive mindset, it could be $17 trillion, it could be $27 trillion, it could be 1$100 trillion, there literally is no answer to your question. it's whatever it takes and no end game ever. >> reagan raised the question in this. it's very simple. is there a limit to the percentage of people's earnings which you say that's too much? i've asked you this question. you never gave me an answer. out of every dollar. >> i will answer you. >> what is it? >> i think, for me, it's like 35, 40%. i would stop. let me remind you. >> that's only -- >> what about -- >> in new york you pay another 10 cents, state tax, state income tax, county tax, property tax, sales tax, hidden tax. out of every dollar somebody makes what's the maximum that should go to government, state, local, federal, everywhere --
10:20 pm
>> [ talking over each other ] >> what, juan? >> sean lives in a high tax area. you have to understand sean hannity, he's upset about the taxes he pays. >> so does every american. >> i live in maryland, juan. >> you don't have taxes as high as new york, governor, come on? give me the number government has no right to take anymore. >> i would say 50%. >> 50 cents out of every dollar. i'm way over that. >> i would say marginal. i would say marginal tax rate, adding everything together, around 33 makes sense. once you 50, it's by definition, immoral. >> then you get beaten over the head for not wanting to pay your fair share even though you're paying it. then you die and the government comes in and takes another big chunk of the apple. if that's not immoral and they're robbing from our
10:21 pm
kids,ion what is. >> can i ask you a question, sean, because you've been asking the governor and me. you were opposed to the budget deal struck today. you don't want the rich and people benefitted from this great country in this season of charity, we need to help our country get back on its feet. how can you pursue a policy loic that? >> juan williams i pay over 60% of every dollar to the state and local government. i'm paying my fair share. please don't beat me over the head with a bat and tell me i'm not. when i die, the government's going to take more, juan. i'd like to give that to whoever i want to give it to. >> all right. coming up next on hannity. >> we don't have an immediate crisis in terms of debt. for the next 10 years, it's going to be in a sustainable place. >> i want to disagree with those who say we have a spending problem. >> it is almost a false argument to say we have a spending problem. we have a budget deficit problem
10:22 pm
we have to address. >> when we come back, let me dig deeper, democrats don't seem to think we have a spending problem in america. why did the government spend 1 million of your tax dollars reading romance novels? beam me up. the waste book will leave you fuming. reaction to that troubling report. all of that and ainslie erhard

ago. it's in the bekele almanac. you can get it for free >> the study was conducted in a congressman's district and why it flowed there. >> i do think $30 billion out of the trillions we're spending is not as much the real shame is the generational theft is coming in the way to entitlement. there is a way to deal with entitlement spending so we don't have the options to do things we need to do, like protect america. >> put the numbers up real quick again. this is dana's dog, jasper. stewart's dog, lassie. >> jake. >> i'm sorry. >> my dog, the winner, gracie, the little puppy, cute, like a little baby bear. >> looks vicious to me. >> it doesn't like stewart. >> this show has really gone to the dogs. >> next year, we'll do a video see. it is a great thing. >> i have a video because i did the homework assignment

but he wasn't on vacation. i agree with you is what presidents are doing. >> the difference is president bush owned a house and would go to it and work from crawford, texas. >> and on is working from hawaii. >> i don't think you should go after george bush. >> i'm not going after him, i'm making a comparison because sean's point was he was on vacation too much. all presidents do this. his father had a thousand days out of the office, ronald reagan had 350 days out of the office and bill clinton had about 350 days out of the office, they are working the entire time. >> i don't think he will working. he's not working. he deserves it. every president should be able to replenish. >> this statistic is repeated a lot. that's not true. >> a lot of numbers >> the difference is if b of a rack obama had a home, he would
10:38 pm
go to it. he doesn't have one. >> let me go rogue on you guys so i don't tell you the topics and want to get your opinion. we had another shooting in colorado, this guy had left wing radical ideas often under-reported by the media. this shooting ended in 80 seconds. why? there was in that school, you had somebody armed to defend. i have been saying if you want to end school shootings, former retired military or retired policemen would protect our schools. good or bad idea? >> i think if it makes the people in the schools feel safer it's a great idea. i think that's really where the argument comes for against that because they're nervous about what could happen >> god forbid, you're married, have kids, hear shootings at your kid's school. would you be glad to know there were former military policemen in the school with guns? >> i'd to know. >> i'd be glad to know. >> but it should be local
10:39 pm
decision and local culture. >> we are agreeing too much but i completely agree to that. we had an incident in my child's elementary school just last week where somebody got in and got around the school and there was some discussion about should you have somebody armed and nobody wanted it because that's how the community feels about it. there ought to be local decisions, what school districts are. >> gm ceos rejects repaying the feds for the bailout loss. what was the big argument in the 2012 campaign, gm is alive and osama bin laden is dead. well, they're saying, sorry, just like every other stockholder, we weren't willing stockholders were we? >> we lost money on the bailout of gm. and the tax treatment gm got was unfavorable to gm and we're not counting that as the cost of the bailout. gm got part have that. i have to point out my boss started that and the other president continued.
10:40 pm
>> and detroit is bankrupt. what happened to the president standing in for detroit. >> he saved the auto industry, millions of jobs as a result. >> no, he did not. >> of course he did, the auto industry, the most seminal industry in america had it gone under would have been devastated to the united states not just in jobs but our brand and reputation. >> bankruptcy laws actually would have provided for them to restructure and rebuild and open again and they could have done it within the laws that we currently have, right? >> i think that probably would have been a better way to go, now that we're looking back it a. >> the american people don't agree with either of you because they voted for the guy who did the bailout opposed to the guy who did the bankruptcy. >> big win for the catholic church as it relates to birth control versus what sandra wants. the story of a charity now

>> you're looking at this through a political prism. >> and republicans have overplayed this issue. >> do you think taxpayers should pay for birth control. you can get it for $9 at walmart >> taxpayers are do it through medicaid. >> why should they have to pay for that? >> they pay for all sorts of things. >> i don't think they should pay for viagra either >> if you break it down into people's individual values you won't get anything done and people wouldn't pay for anything because people have different views on everything. >> number one, on the religious side, it's wonderful there's an oasis for groups of faith. that's the way it should be in this country. no one should be compelled to do something against their conscious and religious freedoms. why is the government in a position to tell anybody in the private sector they should provide a product for anybody. i think contraception should be available for young people.
10:48 pm
that's exactly right, it should be and we're better off for. i the government dictating it and ordering private companies to give it for free, that is not the role of the government. >> why don't you disagree? >> i don't disagree entirely. when you talk about the private sector where rit large, the pri sector has -- >> that's not a regulation. it's an order to give a private sector product for free. >> the government -- the government can order the private institutions not to -- corporations not to allow guns in their offices. if that was against your values, should your employees be able to -- >> i think that's a safety issue people have a right to make decisions about and actually you can under our constitution to have guns. when it comes to providing a product for free, not that your insurance carrier has to provide it, has to provide it for free. when the government starts dictating what prices are, everything gets very expensive.
10:49 pm
when something is free, it's amazing how expensive it gets. >> i don't disagree with that. >> it's fascinating. >> i'm talking about the rights of the government, which is why politically republicans have overextended their hand on this. >> a website where they say life is short, have an affair, it facilitates affairs, people that want to cheat on their spouses, et cetera, a guy's wife went on the site and the guy cheated on the wife. now the wife is suing ashley madison. should they be held -- their state in north carolina happens to be one of six states if they facilitate, they could be held legally liable. do you think they have any legal -- why are you laughing? >> that's so stupid. that's your own human choices. no one made you do that. >> i agree with you. it's kind of a sleazy website
