on rachel canning, jordan writes to us, cute girl, spoiled brat. and everyone wants to go see the film america. follow me on twitter @megyn kelly. we'll see you tomorrow night. y @megynkelly. and this is a fox news alert, the investigators are looking into the disappearance of the malaysia flight that vanished. it was confirmed that two passengers used stolen passports. tonight there are questions of answers and the possibility of terrorism has many concerned. joining us from washington is our own katherine herridge. >> well, tonight, they have information on the stolen passports that is being run against photos and records to

make a positive id. and agents say be close to the identification of those passengers, reports are being run to ground tonight but in washington there were no details public. as two u.s. destroyers and surveillance aircraft join the search for the wreckage, fox news learned this was tied against the data base, a broad data base cross-checked, which includes terrorists but so far no known attacks. they have found no evidence of a specific plot but the review is ongoing. >> my understanding is as of now there are no terrorists indicators. one of them would be shadow, which is conversation among terrorists who are believed to be terrorists which would indicate there is an attack planned or had been carried out. >> the former ntsb investigator s say there are five options to pursue, including pilot suicide,

mechanical or human error, or a missile strike. they will check whether or not the suspect passengers were sitting over the wing and fuel tanks where an explosion would have the most impact. and while the black box canni b telling, it can also be tested for residue. >> mike, welcome to the program, and also, analyst and terrorism analyst. richard, let me start with you. i look at the possibilities, first of all we have a plane that is missing. not a trace of this plane, lost contact, we had good weather this night. and then of course, you can look at decompression. you can look at a possible terror attack, which katherine herridge just reported it could have been a missile. but if it was a missile wouldn't there be

that is a possibility. we've also seen similar things in africa. so suicide is a possibility. and the other thing is we've seen terror strikes like this before, for example, the ana flight out of the philippines, in which the terrorists set off a small bomb inside that plane. this could be a larger operation. >> taking into account, the spatial disorientation, which came up when jfk jr. crashed his plane. you would think it could be looked into, is that something that could have happened and

wouldn't have been picked up on radar? in terms of they have been moderate e monitored when they were in the spy. >> they have backups, and so forth, i can tell you the line between sea and sky can be hard to make out. because unless you're talking about in bright sunlight there can be a similar shade of blue. so that is another possibility. the two most likely is some sort of terrorist attack, or pilot suicide, as strange as it sounds. >> i'm in agreement with you, we would like to get some of the wreckage, but there is none available. i know they're out there looking for it. mike, let me get some of your thoughts, this isn't every day that a 77 just disappears in then air like this. >> right, and again you pointed out several times, the early stage of an investigation, so speculation is what we're dealing with right now.

like everything else in life you have limited options on the decision tree. you have either the catastrophical, mechanical failure, or the terrorism in the south china sea where they're trying to identify where this went down. we have to remember this is not unprecedented. the last was mid-air 2009, air france, it took them two years to find the wreckage of the flight in the ocean. so this can be enormously frustrating on the effort. but the search, they do have certain things they can run down on the terrorism side. and that is the pass ports that can be discussed. the angela attala8 the oughita t passports, and they're saying how can you not run down every

aspect of this situation. >> i think two people got on the plane where they shouldn't have. and you have an iranian connection here and the idea the tickets were purchased for cash, as i understand it? >> that is right, there is a mysterious mr. ali who seems to be connected to iranian intelligence who according to "the daily mail" paid for the tickets. and even if it is a non-state actor, a rogue element, a terrorist organization and so on this really takes this to a new level. if it does turn out the iranians have been involved, let's be fair. the iranians have been involved in terrorism before. initial the plane that blew up over scotland, the iranians were suspected and libyans were identified later as being involved. and iran has a determined motivation here. what motivation they would have in this part of the world is a

big question. but the larger issue here was this a direction rehearsal for something bigger? we've seen in the past al-qaeda would test out smaller operations to see what happens, and then go on to bigger operations. >> mike, you're a former cia operative. one of the main reasons these people engage in terrorism is to put fear in people and that means they just like to put fear in people and accept it. and peter king says there has not been a lot of chatter leading up to it, and afterwards. >> we're moving beyond the days when sort of the traditional terrorist groups, hoffer, or jra, any of the others would do that on a regular basis. or even hezbollah or plo. you get elements that are not claimed, throughout the confusion and chaos. who knows what this can be?

speculation, of course. but if it was a terrorist organization did it go off as planned? did the explosion actually occur before they meant it to? there is so much here to be gathered. as you pointed out they don't need much. they just need to find the wreckage or track down what they can. they're looking at the indicators of the passports. the fact they were bought the day before the flight, the fact that they were one-way tickets, and as richard pointed out. mr. ali, the iranian connection, those are things they can do right now, while the incredibly difficult process of trying to locate the wreckage is under way. >> and real quick, richard --"x >> for lack of chatter among terrorism, that is not necessarily that important. look at the bali bombing which killed more than 200 people, there was no chatter before that blast. >> i said before or after. often they want fear instilled in people that there may be more coming. we'll be watching guys, thank

you very much. and coming up, the former vice president dick cheney is here for a capable exclusive. i'll get his reaction to the mystery. and texas senator red cruz peace of mind is important when you're running a successful business. so we provide it services you can rely on. with centurylink as your trusted it partner, you'll experience reliable uptime for the network and services you depend on.

illegitimate and this is a fox news and a surveillance aircraft are in the south china sea at this hour searching for wreckage from the missing malaysian plane, officials cannot rule out the possibility this was somehow related to terrorism. now, for more information on this story we bring in former vice president dick &' thank you for joining us. always good to see you. >> good evening, sean.

>> it is not just every day, mr. vice ant;÷president, that a pla just vanished into thin air with no contact whatsoever. i notice that the media is very careful. they don't want to mention the t-word, terrorism, but as we learn more about the pass port issue and some other things my mind goes directly there. what about your thoughts? >> well, i'm reluctant to draw a judgment based on the little information that is currently available to us. seems to me we know a couple of things. and right now at this point assume what the professionals are doing are looking at all the options, not ruling anything in or out and that is exactly where they should be. >> well, i totally agree, but when a plane disappears and you find out that passports were bought with cash. it certainly raises suspicions. >> it certainly does, they could

have been involved in other entities, such as drug smuggling. we can't rule anything out. certainly terrorism has to be a prospect in this situation, they will have to take a hard look at it but we just don't know yet. >> this week, the defense secretary asked about crimea. >> sean, i think this is a very, very big deal. in terms of what putin has just pulled off here. he has violated the agreement that was signed up to back in '94 by the u.s., russia, the u.k. and ukraine in return for giving up their ballistics, they would recognize their borders and respect it. he has just blown that clear out of the water. clearly it is an effort on his part to reassert control over what he sees as the old part of

the soviet union. he has re-established his view, i think it is totally misguided. but his view is one of the great disasters of the 20th centuries is when the soviet union went out of business. that is not the case, it is a great success story meaning that people in western europe and the republics of soviet union now live in freedom and a lot of them are under democratic governments. and they're sovereign, independent states and he needs to recognize that and clearly has failed to do that. the consequences are not addressed by those of us who have supported europe and nato in the past and the break-up of the old soviet union. it means big trouble. >> if this is not the end of his territorial ambitions here and you believe it is not over, what do you think -- what options do we have available in your mind? >> well, i think that we clearly do have a wide range of options. the important point from my

perspective is that he be made to pay a very high price so that he is not tempted to do this begin. now, that can come in the form of economic sanctions and it can come in the form of destroying demand for his energy product. that is about half of his economy. with our capacity and growing capability to support others we certainly ought to be doing that and making our products available to europe. i think we ought to reverse the decline that obama is imposing on the defense department. part of the problem is i think our allies in that part of the world are very concerned. if you look at the baltics, lithuania. tomorrow, if putin is successful in the crimea, who is to say he won't decide to tell the folks up in litthuania or estonia tha

he wants part of their territory because they have russians in it. this is of really major significance, and some of my friends have said let me have mistake. >> and you also talk about destroying their demand by increasing our production of energy. but in the short-term, our european allyinies are impotent because three rely on the 18 pipelines going through ukraine, correct? >> yes, they are dependent in varying degrees, some more than others. but i wouldn't stop there. i think it is important to remember, sean, that sanctions on energy are a two-way street. he is more reliant on energy than others, it is half his economy. they are totally dependent to a large extent in terms of their budget and economy for those exports. and to the extent they interfere

with those markets and the consumers go elsewhere, that is a big hit on them. i also would get into the military. it is very important tols7z re-energize nato, some of them, like the baltic states, we have a solid obligation under article 5 to honor the proposition, that the attack upon one is an attack upon all. i would be talking with the ukraines about possible supplies and equipment. i would be doing exercises right up to the russian border. i think it is very, very important we don't underestimate this event, and frankly i'm disturbed when people say it is just the crimea. it is not just the crime ea. it is a significant attempt on his part to regain more since

the soviet union fell apart. >> i think those are all good points, missile defense for poland and the czech republic. there is one thing you keep focusing on. that is wouldn't just the threat -- i have interviewed john hof fm eister, his point is that we have more natural gas and shale than the entire east combined. wouldn't the production of the oil at least stop or tie the hands of vladimir putin? wouldn't that put a lot of fear into his heart quickly? >> well, i think it would if he believes it. but he sees a president that wouldn't even authorize the keystone pipeline. the project is there ready to go, doesn't cost a dime of federal money. it will create jobs and significantly increase our supplies of overall energy. everybody agrees it is a great idea except barack obama who has

the authority to act. part of the problem is these are good ideas. i'm in support of the missile defense in the czech republic but a big part of the problem is we have an administration whos not viewed as inclined to keep its word or commitments. he simply has not backed up his bold rhetoric. >> the recent gallup poll thought that most americans think that the world perceives him as weak? do you perceive him as weak? there was a lot of criticism when you and bush were in the white house, you were too aggressive. of course you had to respond to 9/11. do you think he is perceived elsewhere in the world as being weak when it comes to national security? >> yes, i do, i hear from those

people, i'm still in touch with a lot of the governments that i dealt with over the years. and i know for a fact they don't believe he will keep his commitments or back up his rhetoric. syria was a classic example that turned a lot of people off. >> all right, mr. vice president, thank you for joining us. we appreciate it. we'll have more on the air disaster coming up in the show. but first, he won the straw poll this weekend. i'll talk to senator rand paul about that this weekend. and also the comments that senator ted cruz made about foreign policy and his positions coming up later. coming up later. coming up, james ...so you say men are superior drivers? yeah? then how'd i get this...

welcome back to "hannity." in a moment now, i'll be joined by kentucky senatoøspy rand pauy who was the winner of the straw poll. but is there au and his colleague, senator ted cruz of texas. >> i don't think that is a good idea. what is your reaction to that? >> i'm a big fan of rand paul. he and i are good friends, i don't agree with him on foreign policy. i think u.s. leadership is critical in the world. and i agree with him that we should be very reluctant to deploy military force abroad. but i think there is a violate

role, just as when ronald reagan called the soviet union an evil empire, when reagan said mr. gorbachev, tear down this wall. all right, joining us, senator rand paul, your reactions, big dramatic straw poll victory two years in a row by a very significant margin. what is your reaction? >> well, you know, i would always rather get first than second, somebody asked me over the weekend, do you think the yimportant? i said only if you get first, not second. you have been there, there are thousands of young kids there. it is really exciting. and you doi.s:y feel all the en of the college kids and some a little older than college. >> what do you think about the message, your dadçc,]em did

well at cpac and the straw$ polls, what do you think it is about the message of appealing to the younger cpac crowd? >> well, if you talk to young kids, mine included, they're on and they're like dad, i'm in the basement. sometimes they don't understand how the government would be able to collect their phone records without a warrant or without a suspicion. so they're very in tune to the nsa scandal. >> you really have taken on a lot of issues. and one"ç is 2fu outreach. the second one is the nsa, the third going after the president. do you agree with he says rand paul and i are goox friends. do you agree with that statement? >> we always have been good friends. i'm not real excited&dry about mischaracterizing my views and

won't let that pass. you know, sometimes people want to say hey, look at me, i'm the next ronald reagan, almost all of us are big fans of ronald reagan, i was a 13-year-old kid when my dad was a delegate for reagan, i have always stood for peace around the world. and virtually all the opinions coming from republicans are somewhat the same on this. putin should be condemned. he should be isolated. sancti so for people tozq.:w character that has somehow not'a0l being the reagan administration, i think they need to re-read his position. >> do you think that your positions are the same then or basically the same? >> i think on a lot of these issues, yeah, that i'm well within tho. i doa3(wjjót think we need to h

stronger presence to project stronger ideas of cultivating freedom around the world. and i alsosqfmuátrbrç with rona reagan who often said, or in one of his÷c speeches said to potential adversearies, don't mistake our reluctant move for war, to be weak. i think for 4z1copeople, particy republicans to mischaracterize my foreign policy as something that it%zvg is not. they are welcome to have

me, on crimea, which is a big geo-political earthquake. and i think it is only the beginning. i would deploy the missile defense system, and the czech republic, something the president pulled back on. this points again toward the need for energy independence. do you agree with both of those things? >> absolutely, i think we should deploy the missile defense system but i think europe should pay for it. i think the president could immediately do things to prove up. the keystone pipeline should have been freed up two years ago. we should be exporting liquid nitro gas as well as exports. russia has a difficult time making a profit if oil goes below $90 a barrel. so yes, all of our energy policy should be to produce enough that russia can't dictate to europe and that europe is not beholden to russia. >> all right, rand paul,

airline plane was somehow related to terrorism. we turn to david piper. he's standing by in thailand. >> reporter: hi, shaun, it's now three days since the malaysian airlines maplane went missing a they still haven't found any trace. earlier reports that debris may have been found proved to be untrue. and an earlier oil slick that was sighted has shown not to be jet fuel. radar signals show the plane may have tried to turn back to malaysia for some reason before it vanished. that is now being taken into account by looking much wider for the plane. they've also widened the search in the south china sea between malaysia and vietnam where radio signals indicated that was the last position it was in before vanishing. investigators are still focusing

on two passengers on board who were traveling on its italian and austrian passports. the two men were holding passports that had been lost or stolen a couple years before here in tie hand. their contintickets were bought together. security experts say you shouldn't jump to conclusions about these two men because millions of people travel on stolen passports each year. also tonight, earlier i spoke with kentucky senator rand paul about the big cpac poll. and who's going to be the biggest threat to the democratic party, his party, james carville. isn't this plane suspicious to you, too? >> yes. of course it is. of course it is. you don't want to judge anything, investigators have to find out, but that would be on

the top of the list. a 777 is by and large a maplane with an excellent record. >> one of the planes with the best records in the sky. last time you were on the show you had nice words to say about ted cruz. that surprised people. >> i try to be dispassionate about the field. i think he's one of, i think senator paul has a chance to be the nominee. governor bush, fwogovernor walk and it's either going to be ted cruz or rick perry. i think it's going to be interesting to see who emerges out of those two. i think governor perry can do a speed dial and raise $5 million. how big is california's surplus?

>> here's one big difference. california's a 13.5% state income tax. >> can't argue about that. but i think one of those two would be formidable. but those are the people who actually have a chance. ? >> i aguy wiree with you. there's a little disagreement on foreign policy there. >> but remember ron paul21% in iowa in 2012. you got to almost assume that rand paul can build on that, at least duplicate that, which is going to be pretty good. >> if i want to know what the clintons are thinking, my go-to person is you, because you're very close with them. two things interesting from the hillary perspective in my mind is that she compared putin to

hitler twice and then backed off. she seems to be separating herself from the president, no? >> i don't know if that's separating herself from the president. >> by the way, i agree with her more than the president. i thought she was tougher than him. >> and i think that, look, she's certainly not going to get rid of obamacare, i promise you that. any ha of that magnitude can always be changed. i don't think anybody would deny that. >> but she's openly criticizing it. it seems that she's thinking of 2016, wants some distance. it's a political liability, and you're not going to argue with that. >> the liability is less today than it was two months ago. where i'll disagree with you, i think it will be less of a liability in four months. >> i'll take that bet. >> okay. >> that's a bet i want. >> okay. >> every day, every week more

people are getting that cancellation letter. that's going to be tough to deal with. >> i think in the end, we won't debate it, but i think it's here, and every day it's getting better, but in terms of the republican field, if you go back to that, i think those are the candidates that actually have, as of right now are in the top tier. and it's going to be interesting. >> who's going to win the ncaa championship? >> florida. a sec school, so i got to pick them. >> i debated you on the night before the national championship in football. i just sat there and -- >> you know, if you picked a bracket, you could win a billion dollars. >> i now, if you pick it right. i may have to pick your brain. >> okay. thank you. that's easy to do. thank you. coming up next right here tonight on hannity. >> i think bill de blasio should

welcome back to hannity. columnist, our friend, compared mayor de blasio's war on charter schools to 1960s segregation.

take a look at this. >> i think bill de blasio should be ashamed of himself. i think he has turned himself into the george wallace. he says he's standing up for blacks and hispanics, and he's not. >> and here with reaction, gavin mcginnis, jedediah bela and the one who wants me to give up beef. here's what we know. the liberals always say that they have compassion for minorities. you have more minority children in this particular success academy. he closed three charter schools. they have more than 80% passing the citywide math exam, where citywide, it's only 30%. why would a liberal who says he

cares about minorities, why would he treat familiies hike this? >> if you look it up and bring it to the new york times, and they say though charter schools thrive in harlem, they still face difficulties. they can't stand it that their marxist plan didn't work out. >> you're talking about minority kids, low-income kids. in one breath you're saying let's redistribute everybody's money, but on the other hand your' jeopardizing their chance to have the same education as the upper class kids. it's in line with the unions. >> that's the answer right here. >> most of the schools that are part of the charter network are non-union schools. >> 80% of those kids passed the math exam.

and citywide it's 30%. >> if you turn it into a marketplace, it high hilights a of the bad schools. it enables a system that's not working. >> any school that's successful, i think we should all be for. charter, catholic, home school. all of these avenues and ways that you can educate your children should be possibilities. >> why do i think you will be yelling at me in a few seconds. if you come to new york city, one of the big tourist atrabss was to get on a horse-drawn carriage, go through central park. fun thing to do, do i do it? no. do other people do it? only if you're on your first date. >> first date, really? >> this is an industry that's

been here since before abraham lincoln's first inauguration, 1858. these horses are well cared for. the mayor wants to replace them with electric calls. that's exactly what new york needs, more cars. this experiment has been tried with electric calls in san francisco, failed, abysmaabysma. >> and all those people are going to lose jobs. i've been out to your ranch, and i watch your son wyatt. he's an amazing rider, roper and literally fantastic cowboy. >> rodeo athlete. >> these horses are treated like gold here. what is the point of firing people and getting rid of these jobs? >> i think de blasio's totally wrong. i'm for the horses also staying here and what liam knneeson jus

said. horses are meant to work. horses like to work. these are draft horses, the tine of horses they are. it's better for them. where are they going to be? sitting in a stall? that's actually bad for horses, sitting in a stall. >> they love working. >> he didn't even go to the stable. he wants to ban something, this guy, without even addressing the issue. i realize he may be a little busy shutting down the charter schools to be able to take a visit to the stable. one argument is with the traffic situation in new york, people are concerned about the horses, so if you want to have that debate fine, but do your research before you ban something. >> it's the same as the previous story. it's a liberal getting something in their head and not paying attention to reality. that's why he didn't go to those stables, because it would reverse his point. the horse is pure muscle.

actually has been defeated by a tea party candidate, and that was indiana when lugar was defeated by murdock. >> you also have mike lee and christine o'donnell. >> that wasn't a primary. >> they have a weird system. >> yeah. and o'donnell was running for an open seat. but in terms of an incumbent be being defeated for a reelection, murdock blew it. and we do have to realize that we would have five extra seats in the senate if there hadn't been primaries that nominated the weaker candidate, indiana, missouri, nevada, let's see, what else. missouri, nevada, delaware. maybe colorado. >> let me ask you this. >> in those states, we got hurt. but i do want to say that in the three primaries he mentioned.

kansas, kentucky and mississippi, there is a clear need to replace thad cochran in mississippi by what's his name? chris daniel? cochran is the biggest earmarker in the senate. and the head of the appropriations committee responsible for so much of the overspending. and genuinely not a conservative. you need a conservative there. and there's no chance you'll lose mississippi. kansas, roberts isn't necessarily a true tea party conservative, but he's pretty good. and kentucky, if you screw around there, you lose the seat. i do think we have to realize that while the tea party won some primaries in terms of incumbents, it really only happened once. >> i don't think it's good to alienate the tea party. a big part of the republican party base.

there's palpable anger out there. before we go, you don't want to miss any episode. we hope you'll set your dvr and record hannity, the series. start your day with fox & friends weekday mornings. we'll see you back here tomorrow night. >> this is a fox news alert. 239 people are missing in what is one of the most bizarre mysteries, 72 hours passing and the world has no idea where the flight 370 is. a boeing jet 777 loaded with 239 people simply vanished. on this hour on the ground in malaysia helping searching for crews. only actively and this lead is iffy. two mystery fliers boarded that plane with stolen passports. information on the two men being run through a terrorist database here in the united states. somewhat latest in the investigation there? >> well, the
