so it could have been worse, because they could have made me like the daily double, or the jeopardy answer, that would have been really tough, what do you think? would you have gotten it right? let us know, good night everybody, i'm megyn kelly! and welcome to "hannity." it is a new year and time to take the country in a new direction. tonight, on this program, i'll lay out the conservative solutions that would put america back on track. this is a hannity you can't afford to miss. on the eve of one of the coldest days ever, we'll investigate why billions of your hard earned tax dollars were used to study climate change in other countries. >> emotional times at the peacock network as yet another so-called journalist offers up a

tearful apology over racial comments. >> i am deeply sorry that we think racial jokes are in any way funny or deserving of ridicule. >> fighting for life. >> we want to thank everybody that supported us, everybody that stood in our corner and prayed for us. >> we have the very latest developments regarding the 13-year-old california girl who was declared brain dead as the legal battle continues. all of that, plus our great, great american panel, glad your with us, happy new year "hannity" starts now. and all too often, conservatives are accused of just bashing president obama, and not offering solutions, now, let me be clear. i love this country and want to see america and every american succeed. now it is time for an early course correction. earlier today i released something on my website detailing the conservative solutions, i think, that can

help to put america back on the right track. in a moment, i'm going to go through all of these, but first, let's take a look at the simple solution that will fix the economy. number one, a penny plan, a simple plan, you cut one penny out of every dollar the government spends, you do it every year for six straight years? guess what? you get a balanced budget. wouldn't that be great for our children, we're taking a sledge hammer and robbing their future. part two of the plan, we'll need conservatives who say no to any and all deficit spending, we have 72 billion in debt, part three, we must place a limit on the amount of money government will take from you, hard working americans. now, if those don't work, well, looking into our own energy resources that could also fix america's ailing economy. and also moving to the universal nightmare known as obamacare,

what do we do to fix that? it is simple, that would allow you to purchase insurance. when it comes to the problems of the government legislators themselves, well, we need term limits, six years in congress, with only a term allowed in leadership. 12 years in the u.s. senate and only two years in leadership. we need fresh blood. and moving on to the problem of america's failing educational system, the conservative solution here is we have to save our kids from the schools. they have some of the lowest test scores in the country. the answer for our education system is school choice, freedom, and competition. and last but not least, when is comes to america's borders, the national security reasons, we have the first and formost, secure the borders, you can find more on hannity.com, and like us

on facebook. and use hash tag hannity over the course of the next hour, joining me now with reaction to the vision i'm beginning to lay out, fox news political analyst kirsten powers. good evening to you. happy new year. kirsten, you're a democrat, $17 trillion in debt, we're raising the debt anywhere between one, 600 and $1.4 trillion a year. tell me why it can't work to cut one penny out of every dollar, every year for six years, all across the board, no exceptions in government. could that work? >> it could work, you know, but i also think you have to remember the deficit is projected to be dropping. so you know, to pretend that nothing is being done on deficit reduction is probably not entirely accurate. but i think there is certainly room for new ideas. you know what?

sean, are you running for office? >> you know i'm not running, but i grew up, working as a bartender, a dishwasher, and construction, the opportunity we give our kids, we're stealing from them. isn't this an issue of mortality? >> well, actually there are jo s s available, there is a cultural issue, here, there are still bus boys, maybe american's work ethic could change, but the revenue has increased. government is taking in more money, very hard to get anybody to give up a dime for anything. i mean, the second you cut anything, everybody is crying catastrophe. we're putting children on the street, hurting this group and that group. you really need to get everyone to buy in on this. if you could do that, it would work. >> and that is the point, we

have built-in increases all across the board, 8 or 9 or 10% a year, it is impossible to sustain this, isn't it, kirsten? >> yeah, it is one thing, i think we can definitely agree on. we have far too high of a deficit. we have you know, out of control debt. and something needs to be done about it. i do think obama has put some things in place that are perhaps not aggressive enough. and look, entitlements have to be put on the table because as we all know here, two thirds of the government spending is in just a couple of places. in entitlements and the military. and everything else you talk about you're basically talking around the margins. and so there has to be something that will look at where the bulk of our spending is coming from. and how it will increase as we have the increasing aging population. >> you know, the unemployment rate in north dakota is 2.6%, the unemployment rate now in midland, texas, is 3.2%, the answer, drilling on private

lands, couldn't we institutionalize that. if you're unemployed in midland, you just don't want to work. >> and the same parts in north dakota and absolutely, the boom has taken place despite the government's best efforts. and could lead to the resurgence in the manufacturing area. that is what separates us from others, cheap energy. there are a lot of opponents of that, if they could get out of the way we could ride of pretty far. >> here is my prediction, kirsten powers, you love to tell me when i'm wrong. my prediction for the year, democrats will push hard on class war fare, raising the minimum wage, which by the way only impacts 2.8% of american workers and half of them are between the ages of 18 to 24.

the republicans just want to coast on obama care until november 2014. no big ideas, solutions, status quo, what do you think? >> well, i do think the republicans believe they have a winning political issue with obamacare and will ride that all the way to 2014, mid-term electi elections. i guess i would disagree that describing the minimum wage is not substantive. there are a lot of people who would benefit with it being raised. if it has tracked with inflation it would be about ten dollars an hour. and i think we should at least have it rising with inflation. and then i think democrats are open to looking at other things like immigration -- >> would you be open for drilling? >> yeah, you know that i'm not opposed to drilling per se. i do wish that we could become more energy-independent and to cleaner fuels. but as long as we are going to be using fuel we might as well

get it from the united states. what is the difference if you're importing it? then you're causing degradation to the environment somewhere. so i feel like we should at least be doing it here, creating jobs in the safest way possible. i'm not for offshore drilling, you know i support drilling in anwar, where there is really nothing there. i absolutely support that. >> why, tucker do i feel a sense -- we're all successful and work in tv. and i'll tell a dirty little secret, we're probably all overpaid, especially tucker. but we do pretty well in the television business, right? why do i look at one in six americans in poverty, and it seems to me unimaginable, and yet there is no sense of urgency, tucker, to really solve the problem. the deficit spending continues, the same old politics continues. it annoys me more that the republicans will do nothing bold than what i expect from the democrats.

>> i agree with that completely, there is something really wrong. and you don't really see it until you get outside the coast and move toward the center of the country. i mean, lost in the debate over the minimum wage is why do we have native-born 40-year-old men working at wendy oruber cars or stocking on the third shift. there is something really wrong with that. these are people who should be in the prime of their earning years. these are like adult men, heads of families, works in the service sector, there is something basically wrong, whatever you think of it, it doesn't address the core element here. >> i totally agree, raising the minimum wage just raises the prices, minimum is still minimum. it tends to feed on itself. one of the proudest moments i had recently on my radio shows, recently i said, if i was in trouble economically, i would pack my bags and move to north

dakota. believe it or not, people listened to me, making six figure salaries. and instead of importing oil from the middle east and having these sheiks get rich on us, why don't we use the resources we have, but it is not happening? >> i know, who is stopping it? >> obama, democrats, environmental groups to start. >> in some places that is true. but i don't think it is true everywhere. >> leases are down 40% under this president. >> yeah, i think it has become a hot button political issue obviously. and i think that it needs to be sort of depoliticalized and look at the impact on the environment, and if it is not that bad, creating jobs is the most critical issue that we're facing in this country. >> all right, guys, good to see you. one of the funniest moments we

saw on vacation, we have global warming alarmists going to antarctica on vacation, and they get caught in ice. and tonight, we'll ask the administration why they spent $7 million in other countries studying global warming. and later tonight here on "hannity". >> we are dedicating to the wide diversity of families, i remind you it must be with the utmost respect. >> another reaction on the so-called journalist, the tearful apology to mitt romney. that, as "hannity" continues. it mayeem strange, but people re can love their laxative.

especially when it's miralax. it hydrates, eases, and softens, to unblock your system naturally. so you have peace of mind from start to finish. ve your laxative. miralax.

and welcome back, on the eve of what is expected to be one of the coldest days in history,

wind chills in the negative 39 range, and in chicago, we're learning just how much the administration is wasting on none other than global warming studies. although there is record low temperatures all across america, between 2010 and 2012, more than $7 billion of your hard earned tax dollars was wasted on climate change studies in other countries. you can't make it up. now, it is pretty unbelievable, the administration's willingness to waste your money. and first lady michelle obama has extended her relaxing hawaiian vacation. now, she has done this on previous vacation, the estimated cost to you, the taxpayers, between 63 grand and $100,000, and by the way, that is low. here is more reaction to this, fox contributor joe trippi, good to see you. and before we get to the $7

billion tax dollars, we have the global warming alarmist, they want to head to antarctica to prove that the ice melt is melting so fast, they got stuck in trapped ice, then the rescue ship got stuck in trapped ice. then, the united states, i assume we'll have to pay for it announces we'll have to send in a heavy icebreaker to free the ships. what are your statistics? >> well, back in 2012, there were report that is the arctic ice was growing, a million more square miles covered by ice, the scientists, don't they love facts and figures, well, facts would have told them otherwise. >> come on, joe, we heard in the 1970s from the same group of people the new ice age is coming. then we had made-up facts and scientists actually lied to us. now, you have to admit that is

pretty funny that all the global warming people got stuck in the ice. >> well, it doesn't quite work the way you think, sean. the problem here is, no, it is a changing climate. it will increase -- >> changing climate? warming, cooling, and now changing, that is the problem. >> no, some places will get warmer, other places get colder. that is the way it works. >> if it doesn't rain, it is global warming, if it snows, it is global warming, if it doesn't snow it is global warming. >> the $7 billion that they spent looking into dplorm is a lot better than the $24 billion that the republicans blew on the government shutdown, so we can get into -- >> are you saying it causes ice? >> oh, no. >> no, i'm saying that if you think the global climate is not changing, i think you're wrong about that. there are lots of people, lots of scientists believe you're wrong. >> and a lot of scientists made up a lot of phoney data.

dana, explain why $7 billion is spent on other countries, on global warming. >> well, i would love to know that answer, as well. what i find astonishing, the total hypocrisy from the left on this issue, they're people who claim we love the environment so let's put everything in solar power. at the same time, let's buy the bulk, we don't have any rare earth minerals histo s here in united states, we don't have what we need, so let's give china the environmental regulations, some think there is a pacific wall in the ocean that keeps any kind of pollution from coming here to the united states. which we know is not true because of fukushima, but besides that, this is all ridiculous. i don't know where the $7 billion went. i would love to know. >> well, when you look at 7 billion -- look, when you look at countries that are -- that

may have famines because of lack of rain and those kind of things, that does involve us sooner or later. wars break out. and guess who has to pay with american treasure and american lives. >> joe, $7 billion. other countries. we are robbing our kids blind, joe. >> like i said, it is better than the $24 billion that the republicans wasted on the shutdown. >> and as americans will be freezing tonight, because some can't afford to put on the heat that money could help to heat their homes, joe, just remember, it is all about the children. >> blame that on obama, too. that is good. >> okay, if you inside? and the coal industry, and conservatives, guys, good to see you, happy new year. >> allow me to apologize to other families who formed through trans-racial adoption, i am deeply sorry that we suggested that inter-racial

families are in any way funny or deserving of ridicule. >> yes, a tearful melissa harris-perry took to the air waves to apologize to mitt romney over the attack on her african-american grandson. we'll tell you what she said. plus, the out spoken ann coulter to react. and our companion site, "fox news @ hannity." and we'll continue. open to ambition. open to boldids. that's why n york has a new plan -- dozens of tax free zones all across the state. move here, expand here, or start a new business here and pay no taxes for ten years... we're new york. if there's something that creates more jobs, and ows more businesses... we're open to it. start a tax-free business at startup-ny.com.

we're open to it. if ...hey breathing's hard... know the feeling? copd includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis. spiriva is a once-daily inhaled copd maintenance treatment that helps open my obstructed airways for a full 24 hours. spiriva helps me breathe easier. spiriva handihaler tiotropium bromide inhalation powder does not replace fast-acting inhalers for sudden symptoms. tell your doctor if you have kidney problems, glaucoma, trouble urinating, or an enlarged prostate. these may worsen with spiriva. discuss all medicines you take, even eye drops. stop taking spiriva and seek immediate medical help if your breathing suddenly worsens, your throat or tongue swells, you get hives, vision changes or eye pain, or problems passing urine. other side effects include dry mouth and constipation.

nothing can reverse copd. spiriva helps me breathe better. does breathing with copd weigh you down? don't wait to ask your doctor about spiriva.

and of course, there on governor romney's knee is his adopted grandson, who is an african-american, adopted african-american child, kieran romney, any captions for this child? >> one of these ♪ ♪ >> i think this picture is great, really sums up the diversity of the republican party. >> all right, they just can't seem to help themselves over at msnbc news. that was liberal loud mouth, perry mocking mitt romney's grandson, after outrage, she apologizes. >> allow me to apologize to other families who have formed through trans-racial adoption because i am deeply sorry that we suggested that inter-racial families are in any way funny or

deserving of ridicule. on this program we are dedicated to advocating for a wide diversity of families. it is one of our core principles. and i am reminded when we are doing so it must always be with the utmost respect. i am reminded that our fiercest critics can sometimes be our best teachers. >> now, is that dedicated to the goodness or dedicated to saving one's job. now, on the following day, governor romney accepted her apology. here to react to this, the author of never trust a liberal, ann coulter. >> happy new year to you. >> look, i can't read somebody's heart, and the weeping and crying, but all the other hosts that were let go or resigned, was that an heart felt apology? >> it was a heart felt e-mail

from her boss, i like to suggest her panel on msnbc, like all of these, they were reviewed by assistants. they had a segment specifically making fun of this adopted black child in the romney family. there are plenty people to see this. this was not a slip of the tongue in spontaneous argument. >> as with martin, look at this picture! >> martin bashir's, that was on the te the te the teleprompter, what does she think she is at msnbc? >> you're saying -- why would you say that? i mean, you have plenty of african americans there, black americans there, why would you say that? >> you don't have plenty. >> al sharpton. >> think of how crazy msnbc is now that the voice of reason is al sharpton. >> well, i don't think it is the

voice of reason. it is the voice -- >> he is the only respectable one on msnbc now. >> he gets in less trouble than everyone else. listen, i can't read somebody's heart, i don't know, but hell has frozen over in the beginning of this new year as i agree with alec baldwin, he sends out this tweet, he says if i cry will i be forgiven all of my transgressions? >> well, as i point on, there is nothing we disagree on, the only thing we disagreed on before, liz cheney, she dropped out. as you know, i always defend alec baldwin. >> for whatever reason, you have this obsession of watching these lunatics over at msnbc news. but there is something going on there. you have ed schultz, chris matthews, here is a short montage, in case you missed it. >> he is an enemy of the

country, dick cheney, an enemy of the country, lord, take him to the promised land, see, i don't even wish this guy goes to hell. i just want him out of there. you know what they're talking about, this right wing laura ingraham, he says that is if, there was ever to be a black president. >> you hear what i said -- you got a big problem, you know that, don't you, if you're here when my wife and kid come out. if you are dumb as you look. you're the one that almost hit my wife with a microphone. you want to apologize to her on camera. i asked you a question, you want to apologize, i asked you a question. >> when mrs. palin invokes slavery, she doesn't just prove her rank ignorance, she just

confirms that if anybody applies for a dose of discipline, she would be the outstanding candidate. >> i want to talk today about a controversial word, a word with us for years. and like it or not, it is indelibly printed in the pages of american history, a word that was intended as a derogatory term, meant to shame and deride, the word was conceived by a group of wealthy white men, who put themselves above a black man, you all know the word i'm talking about. the obama care. >> this race obsession over there. what do you make of that? >> no, i mean, that is what was offensive about them joking about the romney grandchild. the way she apologized for it, although i think she was really crying after she just saw her fourth quarter ratings at msnbc. she apologized for making fun of children, yes, liberals always do that to conservatives,

whether it is conservative talkers, they will oust the relatives of conservative politician politicians, conservative pundits for sport. and it is an ugly thing when they go after the children. but that what is not what this was about. this was making fun of a child for his skin color. it was about race. and this was coming from a network that said mitt romney's use of chicago was racist, apartments, when romney said apartments. chris matthews said that was racist because black people live in apartments, not in new york, not all the rich people. >> a lot of people live in apartments, i lived in apartment. >> but there is a special racist coding, and then they make fun of an innocent child. >> the use of the race card and jenlder card, and class war

nightmare, we'll see a lot of it. >> as i wrote, it was just about gone, and the liberals needed to start to play it again to promote the most left wing the country has ever seen, barack obama. there has been an explosion. if you had a graph of racism sightings, it was through the roof until the o.j. simpson verdict. and going after jesse jackson, repeatedly. it was like a subway token that didn't open the gate anymore. and when obama came back, wow, it just exploded. unfortunately, for liberals, there is no racism. there is more cholera than racism. >> you know what? america elected a black president twice. >> an incompetent black president. that is how much they want to

vote for a black president. and coming up next, a wide array, and what made this mom go on the attack at a sugar bowl conference. it upsets me that people like rand paul would put people at risk. if we follow rand paul, we could put america at risk. plus, what would happen if you ate only mcdonald's, and only mcdonald's for three straight months, well, one man did. the results will surprise you, we'll tell you the amount of weight he actually lost. and littater this, the fami of a 13-year-old girl, terry's brother, bobby, is here tonight on the latest, with this very emotional story straight ahead. c explore what's new for 575 calories or less on oulighter fareu. enjoy fresh tossed. go fish. and try our new rosemary garlic chicken at olive garden.

welcome back to hannity, joining us in studio tonight, former clinton pollster, and

amber barneau is with us, good to see you. all looking good. who is going to pay for the first lady's solo flight home? she does this all the time. they have separate flights to nantucket, separate flights home. american people are suffering. >> first lady staying behind, that was an early birthday present, from the president. does that mean he is paying for the flight back, or taxpayers? >> as with all personal travel, the first family will appropriately fund personal expenses, ed, and in line with travel in past presidents and first lady, the first lady will travel via the government aircraft. but you're accurate in your description that this was -- her decision to remain is actually the president's suggestion to spend time with friends, ahead of her upcoming -- a very big

birthday. and you know, if you have kids, you know telling your spouse that they can spend a weekend away from home is actually a big present. >> all right, but this is a third time, hang on, separate trips, he heads to florida, she goes skiing with the kids. separate trips to nantucket, he goes, she goes, he comes back, she comes back, they go to hawaii, she goes, he goes, why can't they arrange their schedule and not burden the american people twice? >> it makes for good politics and tv, but happens with of administration. george w. bush, the vacationer in chief. >> he worked in his own house in texas, that is not the same. >> i think work would be more of an appropriate way to describe -- this country was a lot better off. >> i think it is easier to spend somebody else's money, that is our money we're talking about, yeah, would it be better and more efficient for them to do it

in a way that doesn't cost the taxpayers more money? sure, do they feel obligated. what if this message about president bush? if he did it does it make it okay? why can't we criticize this administration without somebody saying well, bush did it. >> bush is gone, it is six years. >> it has taken a long time to get over what he did to this country. >> get over it, grow up. >> this is the first family of luxury vacations. and the american taxpayers are sick of footing the bill, whether it is shopping trips to europe, or africa, to hawaii nonstop, they don't want to pay for these outlandish vacations anymore. >> listen, maybe we can get these vacations paid for. when americans are suffering, you have one in six americans in poverty. his policies have not made anybody better.

we have the lowest participation rate in the job market in decades. >> and the greatest growth in the economy. >> and he will double the deficit. >> how is your stock portfolio, did it go up? >> i don't have much money in stocks like you. >> what about the people that left the labor force, what about fact that was one of the only reasons. >> how many poor people have stocks, how many unemployed people have stocks. >> the economy is finally growing, not a lot, but are we much better off? >> what about the debt he refuses to acknowledge? >> i'm sorry, but the debt went down by the largest percentage proportion of gdp last year, than it did. >> it was $600 billion, what world were you living in. >> the amount of money we pump into the stimulus, you think that that is a recovery? the number of people that have left the labor force. what the unemployment numbers

look like, come on. >> this was one of the greatest football weekends i remember. about 70 million people watched the game last night. 30-some odd million the night before. here we have the oklahoma game, and you have this mom attacking. what is wrong with us? i assume that person is related to you, bernard. >> all i have to say about this, look, i do like bama but i'm a sooner fan at heart. and i think that game was an extraordinary game. she obviously got a little out of control. and it is unfortunate that sometimes our passion for sports boils up in certain ways. >> i bet you're a tom brady fan. >> no, i'm a giants fan, a jets fan and a boston hater. >> can't pick on him for that one. >> can't pick on him. is there a problem, we get too involved in sports? and do you think priorities are

skewed when athletes who work hard and get these jobs and entertain us, they get paid this, what about the guy that works at the restaurant? >> that is true, but that is the way the free market works, right, we buy the tickets to the game, they malk a lot of money off of them. supply and demand, do i think she got a little carried away? yeah, she was a little passionate, probably shouldn't have attacked a bunch of teenage boys, but she said her son was called a certain name. sometimes when you're involved in those things and watch the game, you get very passionate. >> last year during the championship game, i'm a notre dame fan, my wife graduated from alabama. it was not a pretty household for a couple of hours and i lost. we have a group of kids from notre dame here. so in honor of them, they will be back next year. all right, you hear about the guy who eats mcdonald's for three months. we'll tell you about how much weight he lost.

and welcome back to "hannity" with our great, great american panel, so the guy eats mcdonald's three months and loses 37 pounds. and i love mcdonald's, wendys, look at that picture, he was smart, he ate the healthy options at mcdonald's. >> this is an excellent lesson for personal responsibility. you're responsible for the food that you eat. >> what you choose. >> so guess what? mcdonald's is not making you

fat. if you decide to eat 12 big macs a day, guess what? mcdonald's is not making you do that. you're responsible for the action. >> when i go to mcdonald's, it is for quarter pounder, cheese, fries and a coke. >> have you seen the mcrib -- >> i love mcdonald's. >> i look at some of the ingredients and they're not too appealing to me. you can go into an establishment, a deli, anywhere, and you can choose a healthy option. >> do you ever go to mcdonald's? >> i am not a mcdonald's, i'm a pizza girl, i love my pizza. but i don't do fast food. >> but back in super size days, mcdonald's didn't have what this guy had had, which is egg whites, this is the exception that proves the meals, generally speaking, mcdonald's favorite meals are not the most healthy, but everything in moderation. >> i want government out, but no

one is going to get thin on mcdonald's. >> bernard, i want government out of my life. if i want five big macs, whose business is it? do i really need a government to tell me? it is high. >> i don't. i >> that is different. >> really? >> to show calorie counts that is okay to me. >> the worst story i saw that angered me. we had a representative of human rights group headed by a designated al qaeda terrorist invited by congressional democrats to discuss drone strikes can you explain your part yes's decision? >> i'm sure there is more of a story behind that.

brain dead awful quick. we believe this girl should be afforded to the chance to see if she can be helped. >> the family wanted to take care of her the family were willing to take care of sxher made arrangements to move her into a facility. right sf >> right the people we have had helping the family, put a team together to get her transferred out they came to a decision quickly they're going to end this girl's life the family objected to that. that is more and more health care rights are being erodeed and put into the hands of hospitals they're now making decisions in place of family members we don't know if jah sichlt going to get better. we believe the family should provide her the help before coming to the conclusion she should be killed. once you do that, you can't

reverse that. >> she was declared dead by two doctors at the hospital. i never heard of complications from a tonsillectomy that led to cardiac arrest. never heard about. that do you know what happened here? that struck me as very unusual. >> no. i don't know details but you can understand why parents don't trust the hospital. ask want to get her transferred after a simple procedure went wrong then making a decision to end her life the young girl has been transferred in a facility that is safe hopefully will be providing her help that this hospital did not provide her and hopefully, we'll see if she can improve. >> there is a side of me. has the family looked into potential mistakes and maybe too much anesthesia? something like that? >> it's interesting here. it seems to me that if there was a type of malpractice it would be in the best interest for the

hospital to end jahi's life. i don't know details but you can again, you can understand why parents want to get her out of there and get her into a facility that will at least give her a chance. >> thank you for being with us we appreciate it. and send our thoughts and prayers with her. it's a sad, sad story. thank you for being with us. >> and now that is all the time we have left this evening we have new radio stations we've just started here in the new year across the country. if you stand by we're going tell you where you can find them. wor in new york. the answer in san francisco >> all of these are on our web site we're publishing a new solution
