>> you have the ice desk why do you need that? thanks for inviting us into your home tonight, fair, balanced and unafraid. here comes greta. did you hear the news that a colorado insurance administrator insists she felt pressured by democratic senator mark you dal's office to falsify obamacare numbers. sean tweets christie ensnared in a scandal dubbed bridge gate and media having a field day. anything to distract from obamacare. sean joins us. hi, sean. >> great to be on with you. happy new year. >> happy new year and things are going well. things are going well at 10:00, 7:00, things are all good. let me ask you though about chris christie and your reference to the media having a field day. >> you know, look. chris christie did something that i thought was really

refreshing. that is that he took responsibility. and i think you know i have been kind of hard on chris christie. as a conservative i was not happy with the embrace of president obama a week before the election. i'm not happy with the economic record. i don't like some of his appointments. and chris christie did something that was really refreshing, went out it there, fired people, took responsibility. nobody has been fired for fast and furious. nobody has been fired with the nasa scandal or target-nsa scandal. rollout of obamacare even, greta. nobody has been held accountable. and i also like the fact that he left wiggle room. if there is an email that shows that he knew ahead of time or knew about this, he is probably finished. because he said he had no knowledge whatsoever. so, i find it refreshing, especially in light of years of hearing that it's bush's fault and fox news fault and sean hannity and greta van susteren's fault and talk radio's fault. i like what happened here.

>> what about the fact though that he someone had worked for him five years in his inner circle and i realize he can't be responsible for everybody that works for you. someone who is really close. he even had that incident in december where he sort of mocked the idea of this traffic jam being created. >> yeah, well i think at the time he mocked it he did so not knowing any of the facts here. look, i know a lot of people that have worked for you over the years. we have been colleagues and friends for a long time now, i have had many people work for me over the years and there are some people that turn out not to be the person that you thought they were. there are 65,000 people that work for the state of new jersey. that's a lot of people to be accountable for. the idea that he said they still work for me, i didn't know about it, and i'm going to fix it right now i thought was refreshing. i would like to get answers. you know, in benghazi we lost four brave americans, similarly with fast and furious we lost a brave border agent and many people in mexico died as well.

we gave guns to criminals, kidnappers, murderers and drug dealers. media get all behind up the way they did in this particular case spying on americans. or targeting conservatives. using the irs which is a huge abuse of power. but i will tell you one other thing, greta, as you mentioned the udal case in colorado. many identify not with the republican party or the democratic party but identify themselves as independent. there is a sense that we're being lied to. you like your plan, you keep your plan. it was a lie. you are not saving $2,500 a year. now they are trying to fix the books out in colorado. people are fed up. those unemployment numbers, you are reporting on on your show tonight, those are phony numbers. we don't count the chronically unemployed. the accounting they do in washington is totally dishonest. i know as a lawyer, there

would be people you would have to defend. cuffed, perp walk put in jail if they did the same accounting washington does. >> you mention independents. bulging numbers. more and more people seem to be moving to that area. in the next election, what will the republicans have to do. you have got to nab some of those independents. are we going to see immigration reform? how are you going to grab those independents, the republican party? >> look, i think that's a great question for this reason. because it's something i have been telling republicans to do for a long time. i love gretawire, you know, i have my web site hannity.com. i'm not really pro-moghtd it. but this week in particular, i started what i'm calling the conservative solution caucus. i don't think the answer is left or right. buff if we don't balance the budget. if we don't stop spending more money than we take in, we are literally robbing our kids and our grand kids of their future. so i have four solutions i laid out this week. i'm laying out a number more solutions next week. and we have got to balance

the budget. i like the penny plan, a balanced budget amendment. i think the real answer to our economic problems is energy. and that means drilling and fracking and coal mining and gas production in this country. i believe in term limits and i believe we have better answers to healthcare than obamacare. i think the party that gives answers is going to be the party that deserves to win. i think we have connickly high unemployment that is unnecessary. debts that are unnecessary. and i think the party that offers the solution is going to be the one that wins. if it's the democratic party and they offer go solutions, i would support them. if it's the republican party i will support them. if it's nobody i will oppose them all. >> who should the american people sort of be watching? not that they are taking a side like for or against but who do you think are sort of the candidates who are going to emerge in the republican party when we narrow it down to three on each side? who for the republicans? >> talking about more 2016? >> 2016. >> look, i think you you are going to look at the

governors for sure. guys like bobby jindal, scott walker, wisconsin, i think that would probably make you happy. you have got a lot of good governors out there. i think we have got four senators, in particular, that i'm paying close attention to. ted cruz. rand paul, mike lee, i don't think mike lee would ever run. and marco rubio. but i think between the governors, and, you know, maybe governor haley. she suspect for re-election this year susanna martinez is another rock star. we have got a lot of good people that i look at as conservative. i'm not looking for a republican. i'm looking for people that want to take bold distances and solve our problems. not people that want to play politics. >> all right. i know that you are not a big fan of president obama. so in 2016, what will be his biggest vulnerability that he leaves behind for the democratic party that the conservatives, republicans will seize on? what is the single most vulnerable point. >> the obvious answer i think, greta, would be the debt. he will double the debt.

he will accumulate more debt than every other president combined before him. and he said that trillion dollars in debt was irresponsible and unpatriotic. he is going to have to answer to that at some point. i think his biggest legacy on the negative side is going to be his lack of understanding in the middle east and literally helping iran move forward with the nuclear weapon program. not understanding radical islam in egypt and the entire region and not supporting our ally israel. i think that will be the biggest mistake that he has made in presidency. >> how did the republicans, the conservatives communicate that to most of the american people, those big issues, like about the middle east or about the debt? sort of concerned with like am i going to be able to keep my job or feed my kids or send them to school? those are big issues. >> you know, what bothers me, and this is a great question. it's almost like i can predict what the republicans are going to do this year. they are going it try and coast on the idea that

obamacare is going to get them there. you know, if you look at the two most successful errors for the conservative movement in this country is when they had bold ideas and they were able to communicate those ideas with passion and vision to the person people. that's ronald reagan, ronald reagan limited government, lowered taxes, limited the percentage of people's income that they can pay in taxes. he inspired people to the conservative agenda and he was a nice guy. you know, the second big movement in the conservative movement was newt gingrich and the contract with america. you elect us, we will do these ten things. brilliant, brilliant inspiring things that people can support. look, america knows they have made up their mind on barack obama. more and more people, i think, have come around to my way of thinking. i think i was a little ahead of the curve in 2007. some people were slow to get on board. they have made up their mind on him. the question is what are they going to offer that's different? and i think the party that says we're going to stop

robbing from our kids, that we're not going to be energy dependent on the middle east and other countries especially when we have more combined resource sources than the entire middle east. the people that come up with a plan for healthcare that will actually allow people to keep their doctor, let lower prices. free market and competition. that is the party, those are the people that are going to get lead people to support them. that he was what i think. i'm kind of tired of the games going on there now. >> well, sean, thank you very much. see you at 10:00 p.m. i watch every night. i even tweet right before it comes on to make sure others do. >> you are awesome. i watch your show every night. you are killing it at 7:00. you have been a very dear friend and i appreciate it more than you know. thank you so much, greta. >> thank you, sean. watching you at 10:00. >> thanks, greta. >> donald trump tell you the odds of whether he is going to run for governor of new york or not. donald trump is here next. do you think the media is

2013 goes out with a whimper, certainly not a bang. grim news today that the economy added only 74,000 jobs in december. that's horrible. that's the weakest month for job growth in three years. and there is more. earlier today we spoke with a boss who knows all about jobs and hiring.

donald trump. donald. nice to talk to you. >> hi, greta. >> donald this morning i woke up and saw the unemployment level had dropped to 6.7% and i was absolutely ecstatic until i read further that for every job we added in december we lost five five left the work force. >> it is such an unfair number that 6.7 because as you know it's people that have given up looking for work, all of a sudden be they become essentially for purposes of numbers. they become employed it is such an outrage that they are allowed to use that number. as you know the numbers were terrible. because they thought many many people would be put to work and it was just the on sit. numbers terrible, artificial numbers because of what you just said. the actual unemployment is possibly 17%, greta it makes politicians look better. i'm not just talking about the president. makes them look a lot better. people give up looking for work and all of a sudden they don't count in the numbers. but even the biggest obama

fans and the biggest administration fans are saying these numbers are catastrophic. because the end result is very few people got jobs. >> at some point it's almost like being on a plane you get down so low to the ground there is no recovery. recover from a few bumps 36,000 feet. get down to 2,000 feet you can't take much. we are now getting to that point for a lot of americans, we are now down low to the ground. what in the world is going to happen? we can't keep adding only 74,000 jobs in december. and having the lowest proportion of people everybody thought we were going to be adding 300,000 plus jobs and they were expecting 300,000. that would have been a good number. and they were actually inspecting more than that the number came out at 74,000 or 78 thousand. a very very small number. and everybody was shocked. i was watching one of the business shows. they couldn't belief it thought it was a mistake.

despite that despite these horrific numbers. the unemployment goes from 7 to 6.7. because, again, people gave up looking for jobs. it's a very sad thing. >> whatever we are doing, i think it's now time to admit whatever we are doing just isn't working. at least some point. we have had such a terrible situation change gears. something different. some other plan. >> well, greta, i have within saying it for years. i have been on your show many times. you have to say i have been very consistent. we are not manufacturing things like in the good old days. we are buying products from china. you look at the chinese surplus. it's unbelievable. they are loaning us money. not only china, it's many countries. china would be, i would say the biggest abuser by far. you look at what's going on even in mexico now where mexico all of a sudden is really doing a great job and very much to our expense. so many different countries are smiling. and they are so happy because they are making our product and we are buying

the product and we're having tremendous deficits. but the bottom line is we are not doing jobs. >> all right. let me ask you about -- are you running for governor? i understand you are meeting with people or have met with people about running for governor of new york? >> a group of people, a great group, a big group of people over 50 just came in to my office. and i was very honored by it as you know, the state of new york is doing very very poorly. tremendous unemployment. tremendous, and the highest taxes in the united states. so, they are talking to me. and i have given them certain ideas and certain parameters it. and we will see what happens. but certainly it's something i'm considering and i will make a decision pretty much by the end of the month or early february. >> give me the odds sort of. 7 a% thinking of it or 25? give me a number. >> i think -- you know, i love the country and i love the state of new york. i see what's happening in new york and certainly with the country as we just discussed. that's the least of our problems in the country. but i see what's going on with the state of new york. and it's really a -- it's a very sad situation. >> so if i'm betting money,

what are the odds right now? >> think. >> what's the chance. >> if there is unity in the republican party, i would do it give me a number. >> 50/50 if we have to go with numbers. i want to see unity. the state is three to one democratic. it's not something that's so easy to do. if you do it, you have to do it right. but when you have sound bites that you are the number one taxed state in the nation, that's a bad sound bite if you happen to be incumbent governor. >> let's talk about numbers. how about the number 10 for the adis? >> well what do you mean by the number of 10? explain. >> have you been doing pretty well 10 years. >> 10 years and they just had the birthday the other day. and it's been an amazing show. number one show on television for eard poof time and it's been just an amazing show. and we're going to do another one. there are no laws, interestingly, if you run for federal office you can't

have a show because they have the equal time provisions which make it impossible. if you run for state office you can. so there is no obligations that way. we are doing another one. we have like a fantastic cast. but i'm very honored. who would have thought that donald trump 10 years on prime time television? who would have thought this. >> i don't know. >> congratulations on 10 years. should i plan to come up to new york when you make your announcement sit down with me and make it right here "on the record"? >> i would love to have you. you have been a friend and somebody that's a very special person and do you really great at what you do. i would certainly love to have you. it was great to see you at billy graham's birthday party because is he a special special man and so is franklin by the way. >> indeed. thank you, donald. nice to talk to you. >> thanks a lot, greta. >> public safety dispatcher in connecticut is in hot water it's because his facebook posting. he posted about the newtown

school massacre as the anniversary of the school shooting approached. he posted a tribute. the tribute is called 26 days of kindness. he wrote that acts of kindness would be distributing ammunition to his friends on each of the 26 days. those facebook comments sparked outrage in the community and yesterday, beck resigned from his local school board. but the local board of ethics decided beck would be allowed to keep his job as a dispatcher in brookfield. so now you be the judge. should the connecticut dispatcher lose his job or school board seat or both over the facebook comments or simply exercising his right to free speech. go to gretawire.com and vote in our poll. coming up tonight iraq under siege. there is news tonight that al qaeda in and iraqi forces are clashing. they are battling for control. can al qaeda be stopped from overrunning the region? general bob scales is here next. ♪

fallujah were key cities in 2004 when those horrific battles were fought by our soldiers and marines. now it's really about the region. the civil war in syria and with the collapse of government control and anbar province in iraq, what we see slowly but surely is the emergence of something that begins to appear like a sunni jihadist state. that's far more frightening than just sunni vs. she a inside iraq. and. >> i mean like here is the question. if we see this happening in iraq, is it almost -- i hate to ask this question but people think was it all for not. is there anything we can do to sort of reverse this? >> yeah. you know, it depends on who you talk to. i talk to senior officers. and interest them i hear principally a since of frustration. they look across the region not just in iraq but also in

syria, egypt, lebanon and elsewhere. and they see a sort of collapse of american presence. an amateur's approach to strategy. they see american military presence beginning to wane. but as you move down the chain and you talk to younger soldiers, you get a sense of anger and frustration. the fact that many of them had been wounded in fallujah or they saw their buddies bleed out and die in fallujah and now they see on television images of the very streets that they fought for now being ruled by sunni, islamist waving a black flag. it's very frustrating for them. >> should president obama be doing something or having done something? >>. no i asked one senior officer that. and he said to me, bob, it's over. he said once we broke contact in 2010, once we lost those special relationships with the iraqi army, those friendships that we had forged and the connections that -- remember, greta, for a long

time, the one force that the iraqi military trusted more than any other was the u.s. military. we were the ones who mentored, who trained, and who assisted the iraqi military. and once we were plucked out in 2010, we created a vacuum. and it's sadly happened in the last couple of years that that vacuum has now been filled by terrorists. >> general, always nice to see you you, sir. >> nice to see you too, greta. >> coming up, governor christie has bridge gate and president obama has the irs and benghazi. but, who is better crisis management skills? our political panel will tell you what they think. and if you think you escaped that target data breach. you better check your credit card account again. news the breach is so much bigger and widespread than first thought. that's next. when does your work en

target now admitting personal information was stolen from at least 70 million customers. last month they said 40 million shoppers were affected. target says shoppers email and numbers were stolen in the hacking. target says sales have been hurt. latest in the investigation of a road rage murder. tony was drying tone a pennsylvania highway when another driver rammed him into the median. he walked up to davidson and shot him, executed him. moments earlier someone fired shots at another truck in the area. pennsylvania state police have been trying to determine if the two incidents are linked. >> window and physical evidence compared to establish a link between them or exclude them. evidence from both scenes was submitted to the police laboratory for analysis and based on that analysis, we believe with a reasonable level of certainty that the two incidents are not related. >> the manhunt for davidson's killer continues. and case closed for amanda

bynes well almost. a new york judge says he will dismiss the bong tossing case if bines stays out of trouble for six months and goes to counseling. last spring she was arrested after allegedly smoking pot in lobby and toss ago bong from a 46 floor window and that's tonight's speed read. bridge gate exploding and 24 hours later governor chris christie fires his top aide and cuts ties with the campaign manager that helped him get him reelected. how does his crisis management style compare to president obama's? well, let's take a look. here is president obama responding to the terrorist attack in benghazi. >> four more americans who represent the very best of the united states of america we will not waiver in-to-see that justice is done for this terrible act and make no mistake justice will be done. if senator mccain and senator graham and others want to go after somebody, they should go after me. and i'm happy to have that

discussion with them. for them to go after the u.n. ambassador? who had nothing to do with benghazi? and was simply making a presentation based on intelligence that she had received? and to besmirch her reputation? is outrageous. >> and as of right now, no one in his administration has been held accountable for our vulnerability at benghazi. and susan rice was even promoted to national security advisor. now, to governor christie. here is what he said last month about the traffic jam at the george washington bridge. >> i worked the cones on that. unbeknownst to everybody. i i was the guy working the cones out there. you really are not serious with that question. >> but yesterday, after emails surfaced governor christie singing a very different tune. >> i didn't know about it but it's my responsibility

because i'm the governor. i found this out at 8:50 yesterday morning. by 9:00 this morning, brigitte kelly was fired by 7:00 yesterday evening bill steppian was asked to leave my organization. that's pretty swift action for a day's work. and that's exactly the way i will continue to conduct myself if there is any other information surrounding this that comes up or anything different that comes up over the course of the next four years. >> now back to president obama and his first public statements after the irs targeting scandal broke. if, in fact, irs personnel engaged in the kind of practices that have been reported on, and were intentionally targeting conservative groups, then that's outrageous. and there is no place for it. and they have to be held

fully accountable. >> that was in may. by july president obama started referring to serious injuries as phony scandals. joining us our political panel tonight amy walter the hill's manager editor bob cusack and bill garety. comparison between the two. >> two very different people, of course. the issue, i think, for chris christie is he had very little choice. he had to come out yesterday and show that he was doing something about these people who wrote emails that all of us could see that said i actually was responsible for shutting this down. that was understandable that he did that the other thing it shows too, look. at the end of the day, they are going to be held accountable for the ultimate actions, not just for the press conference. right? so, how is chris christie going to be perceived two months from now versus how was he perceived in the immediate after the press conference. same thing with president obama.

he has gone through a series much difficult times during his presidency. the one thing that really has dented his popularity more than anything else was obamacare. and that was -- it was dented because for the very first time what voters saw was this was somebody that they felt like they could no longer trust in the way they once did. >> bob? >> i think that all presidents are loyal to a fault. and this president is no exception. we had that with bush and rumsfeld. waited until after the election to fire rumsfeld. this president doesn't fire a lot of people. i agree with amy that christie had to fire those aides. he just had to. there was no choice about. did he do okay in that press conference? yes, if his story holds up. that's a big if. but to this point, it has i do think a lot of democrats on capitol hill especially with obamacare want heads to roll and it didn't happen. >> you know, i want to credit christie but i sort of observed that doing

better than obama in scandal management isn't really the highest bar to clear. it's been this very clicheed textbook of what happens when you get caught. i'm just learning about this now. i'm as outraged as anyone. we are going to hold a complete investigation and we'll get back to you on it kind of very predictable ways of kind of kicking the can down the road and diverting accountability. waiting for people to forget about it. christie didn't do that having said that his explanation basically is, look, it's not my fault. i hired terrible people who are callus and mean and enjoy kids being stuck in school buss. what can i do about it? that initial response -- >> -- in other words, the story may not end. it's certainly not going to end if democrats have anything to do with it in new jersey, right? this press conference is going to be one standard he is going to be held to and then a series of other public events where he is going to have though answer these questions. >> at this point christie has to hope are the only times these folks have ever done something like this. >> it's interesting the

mayor who he supposedly wronged fort lee came out and supported his apology opponent for re-election campaign she came out bob and tossing punches. >> called him a paramilitary organization. that's the assessment from the touch and pride barbara bueno. >> this is going to go on for a long time. criminals city how he deals with this. remember, christie plays into the narrative he is a bully. he had to say at the press conference i'm not a bully. not the first time he has said i'm not a bully. >> i thought i'm not a bully is an awkward thing to say. >> uncommon between christie and obama they both say on a variety of scandals essentially, obama is i didn't know. i didn't know. i didn't know. so in some ways that inknock could you late you. well how are you running the white house? didn't know about the irs, the obamacare web site was h.h.s.'s fault so it's a problem. >> panel, stay with us. straight ahead, obama administration lowers the bomb on cgi. company behind

they have? suppose the obama administration say trying to blame cgi. keep you on for another two years. >> contract is up at the end of february how could you keep them? >> no person could say. >> governor christie could keep that woman more easily than president obama could keep cgi. >> christie don't blame me, i hired incompetent people. yes, we can blame you because you blamed incompetent people. >> the issue really and i know we have all been talking about this for some time, it's not about the web site. the web site's problems are the web site's problems and they may continue to be for some time. the real question for obamacare going forward is how it is impacting people, who currently have healthcare, who feel like they would like to keep the healthcare that they have. like to keep their doctor, like to keep how much they are paying for it are they adversely impacted? we are not going to see that immediately. between now and the end of this year, that is going to be the real test. not whether the web site. >> petty immediate moment.

that's the way i'm feeling right now. i do not believe they cannot tell us the demographics whether it's the young and healthy. i do not believe their computers can't do that and all this transparency stuff to be petty and snarky i don't like that. >> cost another 20 billion. >> that's why you had dozens of democrats today defecting on a bill that would provide more transparency and the administration was opposed to that bill and it passed the house. a lot of democrat defections over 60. that's the reason. you can't defend not giving out information. >> but how do they get away with it? >> well, i mean, you are calling him out? >> they don't even care. they don't care after the all. apparent live they don't care. >> they control the data. they control the information. >> but wouldn't you think you would be sort of embarrassed withholding that information? maybe they don't have it but i actually believe they do have it. >> but they have data about the demographics. >> i think they have the data. even if it's not perfect they could give us like ball park figures. >> that's the question at

the state level ear strarting to get data back too. state exchanges can tell us and maybe give us a preview of what the national overall national number. >> first 30 days sebelius said they had no ability to count how many people had signed up of course they can do that. >> hard to count to a. >> they had that information. >> anyway, all right, panel. got to go. friday night. coming up, more than a year after the murder of four americans including our ambassador the obama administration finally naming the group behind the benghazi attack. congressman tray gowdy is here for that segment. that's next. don't forget sean hannity at 10:00 p.m. james carville and mary matlin. 10 p.m. on hannity.

one year and four months. now, that's how long it's been since the terror attacks that killed four americans, including our ambassador in benghazi. and now finally, for the first time, the obama administration blaming specific groups for the attack and designated them as terrorists. congressman trey gowdy joins us.

good evening, sir. >> good evening. how are you? >> i'm very well. so why did they do it now? what took them so long? wasn't it obvious? >> i think tomorrow, greta, they are going to aounce nouns that we put a mann othe moon, that the berlin wall fell and we discovered this neat little drug called pencil loan. that's about how far behind our intelligence the state department is. the shocking part is the statement department is the day after our four fellow americans were murdered said it was ansar al sharia in an email from beth jones to patrick kennedy, to cheryl mills to jake sullivan. they admitted that it was a terrorist-linked organizers the day after benghazi. so i don't know why, after a year and a half, they are finally catching up with the rest of the world. >> here's what else i don't get the state department is very specific today. they said that while it was these two terrorist groups, it was not al qaeda.

as though that is supposed to make us feel so much better. i mean, does it really make a difference which terrorist cell it is, what name it is? we know it wasn't a video that summoned a bunch of random people there all of a sudden what difference does it make it's not al qaeda and two other terrorist groups? can you explain that to me? >> it makes no difference whatsoever. whether it's al qaeda holding company or limiting partner in fact, they also happened to be wrong, the name mentioned and cited by the state department today was linked to al qaeda back before benghazi al qaeda in libya. this is the qumu guy whose name mentioned by state department today. >> he is the former gitmo

detainee, isn't he? >> we released him back to our keep custody many him. make wonder how bad the ones that we kept that we are about to release are if we released that guy. >> it's extraordinary. are we going to get some hearings on this or anything coming up? we only have 20 seconds left but what's next. >> yes, ma'am, we are doing depositions which regrettably your viewers don't have the benefit of it i'm ready to send depositions to hillary clinton, suture rice, patrick kennedy. i'm ready to take their depositions and ready to send interrogatories to the president. some of my colleagues are about their wit's end when it comes to this benghazi investigation. >> thank you congressman, have a nice weekend. >> yes, ma'am, you too. >> thanks for being with us. just a he reminder if you are getting in and tuning in before bill o'reilly. pick up remote and set a recording for "on the

record." do you want donald trump to run for governor of new york? we will see you again on monday right here at 7 p.m. eastern. o'reilly is next. good night. the o'reilly factor is on, tonight. >> you you just get to know how he operates. he runs a pair -- paramilitary organization. >> reaction to governor chris christie's traffic scandal intense across the country. >> i had no knowledge. >> no doubt the governor is a billing political star. >> i am stunned. >> we will tell what you it means with geraldo and bernie goldberg. >> is that a gun? >> back off, bud. back up. >> let's take a walk. >> shocking criminal statistics apparently half of all black males under the age of 23 have been arrested. and 40% of young white men
