tv   Hannity  FOX News  April 1, 2014 10:00pm-11:01pm PDT

10:00 pm
we are posting our segment with colonel scott the former hostage in iran. and sending out a link on twitter, go to twitter.com follow me @megynkelly. welcome to hannity, we have a jam packed edition of the show. america, are you ready? let's roll. >> the obama care deadline may be behind us. but the fight is not over. >> obama care is not something that's set in stone. >> marco rubio's here with a message for the white house tonight. >> we cannot give up. it can be repealed. >> we continue to expose the toxic tradition of spring break. tonight ainsley rides along with the sheriff's department as they try to control this chaos. >> we're smart. we're smart women.
10:01 pm
>> the first ladies of duck dynasty are here to dish about it's really like behind those beards. after more than $677 million spent to fix the site, the obama care deadline has come and gone many what we need to be asking ourselves is this. how can you and your family trust this administration with your all important health care. they couldn't get a website to work, remember this? >> this is what you get when you try to apply in south carolina. >> this is what your friends in florida are experiencing too. they can't get on too. >> create an account. we're waiting, we're waiting.
10:02 pm
it's unavailable. we're going to click create account and see what happens. create account and it says your account can't be created at this time. we tried at 2:30 in the morning and got the same page, so no luck. >> only government could be this bad, and yesterday, 6 months after the so-called fix. team obama could not get it right as the healthcare.gov website once again became the laughing stock of america. >> the final day arrived with computer problems. even now there were still glitches. the website down for hours this morning and again early this afternoon. even the countdown clock was off. >> for a while today it seemed like the health care.com website may finish like it started. >> before we get to senator rubio who's going to join us and
10:03 pm
talk about this tonight. let's imagine this, imagine if amazon.com spent $677 million over four years and the website still didn't work. here it is the most important day, and that website went down for six hours yesterday. now, let's go to the other broken promises. remember the president, he said, if you like your plan, you can keep your plan, period. like your doctor, keep your doctor, period. and every family was going to save $2500 a year. now we have the problems. you paid $677 million when we talked about the website. 37 major delays in fixes. that raises a constitutional question. did the president unilaterally have the right to bypass congress. and just on its own we're going to put in this delay and that delay and everything in between. we have close to 7 million people who have had their plans cancelled. that grows every day every week every month. and the cbo predicts under the best circumstances, we're going
10:04 pm
to have 31 million americans still uninsured. americans for prosperity put out an ad today. let's take a look. >> we got a letter telling us our current policy was going to be cancel led. we've yet to receive anything telling us we're going to be extended. it's like living in a haze. you don't know whether you're going to have insurance or afford your insurance. it was taken away from us. or it was given back to us. he hasn't been that responsive to the issue now. do you think he'll be responsive four years from now in. >> marco rubio. i think about small business in america, i think about amazon.com, they're coming up with ways that if you order something, they will have a robot fly to your house and drop it on your front step. the government spends $677
10:05 pm
million and they can't get it right as the website went down yesterday for 6 hours. how are they going to run our health care. >> you make a valid point about the ability to function. let's remember what the purpose of this law was to help it. now by every calculation, no matter what they're doing, they're still going to be over 30 million people that are uninsured in this country. the purpose of obama care was not to get 7 million people or 6 million people wherever the number is, to sign up on a website, the purpose of obama care according to them was to get more people insurance. by all accounts it's going to fall woefully short. you're going do have 37 million people in this country uninsured. you have disrupted the health care coverage of millions of other people who had health insurance that they were happy with. you disrupted the entire health care marketplace for purposes of a law that has failed to make a substantial debt on the number of uninsured. >> it got so bad that the
10:06 pm
hearing impaired were directed to a phone number that put them into a sex hotline we can't play on the radio. you have a chapter for obama, it says not covered? got a sugar daddy, mama to pay for those medical bills? and then they had to pull down that tweet, what's your reaction to that? >> they've used all sort of gimmicks many here's what they're not telling you. there's a significant number of people that said only 14 to 15% of the people -- 14% of the people who had signed up hadn't paid. so you have a substantial number of people who haven't paid into this. signing up is not the issue, you have to get people that are going to make their monthly payments. once people realize what they're paying for comes with a high deductible, they can't start using health insurance.
10:07 pm
they're not insured at all. you're going to see the number of people that have signed up not continuing increase. that's going to underline these exchanges. >> a reporter asked kathleen sebelius. in that one case we had an 11-year-old girl, sheen wouldn't sign the waiver. some people live, some people die. she was asked about the unpopularity of obama care. i want you to react to what she says here. >> 64% of oklahomans are not buying into the health care plan, they don't like obama care, they've been vocal about it. that's going to continue to be a tough sell. we'll see how that plays over the coming months. >> thank you so much. we probably lost sound or something. >> i can hear you, but thanks for having me. >> what is it?
10:08 pm
she had nothing to say. >> well, what do you say to something like that. here's the bottom line, there's a reason people don't like obama care, this is no longer some political issue they're hearing about on the news. this is personal, this is happening to people. the health care coverage you have costs more, can you no longer see the doctor or go to the specialty cancer center you once went to. they don't have answers for any of these things. they have disrupted the entire health care marketplace for all americans and all they have to show for it is a small men school dent. >> let's talk a little bit about some red state democrats that are unfor re-election this year. this very important midterm election year. many if not all of them are on the record saying what president obama said, if you like your plan, keep it, if you like your doctor, keep it. what's your reaction to that. >> that didn't happen, and they're all -- you saw a few of
10:09 pm
them last week come out with a bill to try to fix obama care. we can't fix this. if you had told the american people we are going to pass a bill that's going to disrupt everybody's health care coverage, including the people who are happy with what they have, in exchange for insuring a couple million people more than are insured now, people would say, that doesn't make any sense. it's going to cost us billions of dollars. they're going to have to defend that. because that's the reality of obama care, they're going to have to go back to their state and explain to people, why didn't they vote for this law, but they spent the last three and a half years as apologists for this law. >> let me pivot if i can, house budget committee earlier today, senator. they came out with their proposal. now, one of the things as we go to the big board here. he's pointing out that we're going to head up here by the year 2040. they have offered a path that
10:10 pm
they say will literally balance the budget in ten years according to them. cut $5.1 trillion. paul ryan put up his own bullet points here, he says it balances the budget in ten years, there's certain things i look in here that i liked as well. not only grows the economy, when you get to some of the specifics, i like the fact it would reform the tax code. no alternative minimum tax. corporate tax would go from 25 to 26%. repeal obama care, the bailout of banks and dodd frank. it would open energy exploration for the entire country. i want to you weigh-in, is this now the alternative blueprint? will you sign on to this as well in the senate in terms of the republicans having a solution oriented agenda for the country? >> let me say, first of all, i believe we need to have an
10:11 pm
agenda i haven't read the fatality, i'm sure there's an item here or there that i would like to see differently. leer's why, in that budget, you see the difference between conservatives and liberals. conservatives trust the people, we trust what people can do when they have the freedom to keep more of their money liberals believe you can't trust people. that's their attitude on health care, spending, i think paul ryan has it right. his economy is one that will help grow our economy. it's better than the democrats, because they don't have one. >> thanks for being with us. coming up, a stunning new report out of washington misled the american people and government on its interrogation program, i'm not upset about it, and i'll tell you why.
10:12 pm
ainsley is back to expose more of what is happening when your kids jet off to spring break. that and the women of duck that and the women of duck dynasty all coming up. it's red lobster's lobsterfest! all promotions! the year's largest selection of lobster entrees, like lobster lover's dream. hurry in and sea food differently. go to red lobster.com for ten dollars off with purchase of two lobsterfest entrees.

10:14 pm
welcome back to hannity, the cia has been misleading the government and the public about its interrogation program for years. officials who read the report said the 6,300 page document said the agency hid details about its methods and that is harsh interrogation tactics yielded little if any information for the hunt for osama bin laden and beyond. the cia has not responded to the
10:15 pm
report. agency officials who have seen it have described it as inaccurate. the senate is scheduled to vote thursday about sending a summary of the report to the president. joining me now, the co-host of the five. this wreaks of a political document and a witch hunt. first of all only the government writes a 6,300 page document that no one is going to read they were very specific rules they had to follow and did follow. >> for the express purpose of extracting information. >> this report has long been controversial. the only thing we have right now is the washington post report based on leaked details. the majority who wrote this report knows that it's going to be controversy.
10:16 pm
there's a lot of holes in it, they're going to be eviscerated. right now, it's like boxing with a ghost. you don't know what's in the report. >> the further we get away from the memory of 911 and 3,000 americans killed, it's like now we're going to micro manage what we had to do in light of the worst attack in our country. >> if i'm in the intelligence business i'm going to lie. i'm never going to tell them the truth. this is black and it's actually white. that's what i'm going to do, here you have this report that says, the cia concealed black sites, concealed alleged abuse. that's precisely what i would expect. especially when interrogators face prison because of this report. maybe when we make it a little
10:17 pm
more personal if you knew that somebody in your family was killed on 9/11 or potentially was kidnapped and we needed to extract information, i wonder if these very same critics would be as harsh against them in that scenario. >> i think they would be a lot more forgiving of these patriotic americans that got this information out. anybody here see the brooklyn bridge lately? the reason it's still there is because of waterboarding. khalid sheikh mohammed who was the mastermind of the 9/11 attacks. he was waterboarded and he unveiled that there was a plot to cut the cables for the brooklyn bridge. >> waterboarding worked? >> and it was the right thing to do, we should keep doing it.
10:18 pm
>> it was all done legally. this is an important distinction. what do you think the agenda here is? 9/11 happened in 2001? >> if i'm being kind it's because it was a controversial issue. and controversial issues deserve to be examined and i think that -- >> i'm trying to be kind. if i'm looking at it that way, another way to look at it, if i'm being realistic is that it is a continued political witch hunt, in particular again not just a bush administration, but the individuals who were carrying out orders to extract information from terrorists. they are under prosecution, and that is something that president obama could have cleared up when he -- when -- remember the first day in office he changes the rules. john mccain praised him, at that point why not protect the men and women that were involved? >> he asked them to do something, and now they risk prosecution. that is outrageous. >> those interrogators face
10:19 pm
prosecution after this report. >> and we're talking about, this is going on for five or six years. >> it's hovering over their heads. >> and i've debated people on this topic, i asked people who are critical of these interrogations. what do you suggest? what do you propose? they have no answer, these people won't talk. they have information that could lead to saving people -- and they never explain how we may get this information otherwise. >> a very frustrating thing was, because the program was so secret, you don't want the enemy to know what you're asking, and how you're getting information. it sounded like the techniques were used by everybody that ever was captured by the united states military or our intelligence -- that's not the case, it was three. >> three people were waterboarded? >> and this is what they're doing -- >> we asked these guys to do this, and this is how our country treats them? >> yeah, and it's not true it was illegal.
10:20 pm
>> we tell them what to do. >> this story also named a couple countries where we have black sites where we did this interrogation. it will be harder to get other countries to get on board. >> well said. guys, good to see you. coming up next, tonight right here on hannity. last year spring break we arrested close to 700 people in that six-week operational period, and just last week we were already at 500. ainsley earhart back. she rides along with police to expose just how out of handspring break is getting. and then later, you're going to meet all five of the wives from the "duck dynasty" family. they'll join me in studio and tell me what's life like behind the scenes with all those guys in beards. (dad) well, we've been thinking about it and we're just not sure. (agent) i understand. (dad) we've never sold a house before.

10:23 pm
welcome back to hannity. as we continue to expose what's really going on at spring break. ainsley earhart went down to panama beach and spent a week riding along with the sheriff's department. >> it was quiet, chilly, and then all of a sudden they just -- we had firearms every night, we've had firearms. mike had a gun sitting under the arm wrest. it seems like this year, everybody is more physical than in years past for whatever reason. officer safety, stay out of the crowds. make sure that you're backing each other up. if we get way too crowded. we'll pull you back out. >> we try to enforce every aspect that we can as far as law enforcement goes. there's sometimes that we are just outnumbered on the beach, and you have 200, 300,000 people
10:24 pm
partying. some things you just can't get to being an officer safety issue. we can't get into the middle of the crowd. if it's an issue of a life threatening nature, we'll be there. do what we need to do. >> we pack in a year's worth of different crimes and issues in a six week period that could usually be spread out in the whole year. >> the same amount of arrests in a six-week period? >> our arrests go sky high. i believe last year spring break, we arrested close to 700 people in that six week operational period. just last week we were already at 500. i know we'll probably go over that amount this year. any time you get a few hundred
10:25 pm
thousand students or tourists that want to come and party and relax and have a good time, it's a huge issue. >> how much have you had to drink tonight? >> do me a favor, place your hands behind your back, okay? >> the majority is alcohol related. traffic crash, dui, fights, intoxication beyond their capabilities. and then you have the folks that come in and prey on somebody that is inebriated. you have the sexual battery. >> we have the 100 milers, that come in to prey on the college kids. they get drunk, scream and have fun, we have all the other factors that come in, that bring guns that break, rob, pilfer, that's what we really have to deal with more than anything.
10:26 pm
>> you see college students out here partying, they party too much, and they end up dying. >> it is unfortunate, but every year, we work investigations that can include alcohol poisoning, dui accidents. it's very unfortunate, and we try to combat the problems that we've seen that might cause an injury like that. >> someone fell 8 or 9 floors and lived. he hit a tree. every year we have fatalities with that. >> joining us now with -- to shed more light on this report. every year they have a fatality? >> every year you can count on it, at least one. that stretch is maybe a mile long. it's one county. it's not very big, they can always count on at least one fatality. kids falling off the balconies. spring break, it's been going on
10:27 pm
since the beginning of time it seems. we were all there. they're saying it's gotten more shocking. you see what the girls are doing on the beach right there. one girl naked, standing on a box and letting guys reach up and do whatever they wanted. >> was she conscious? >> she was conscious. and it's all over social media. this poor girl, her reputation was ruined. >> police are saying, stay out of the crowds. they have a -- i guess a policy, because they're so outnumbered and this goes on for six or seven weeks every year, is that the reason they stay off the beach? >> a lot of people after they watched the first part of the series, they said where are the cops on the beach? why aren't the cops monitoring what the kids are doing? why is this girl standing naked on a box, and why is this guy not getting arrested for taking at vantage of her. they lack the manpower, and they cannot send in a few of their guys to the beach, because
10:28 pm
they're outnumbered. you have hundreds of kids. >> i don't know if that's at the state level, county level, they need more assistance, they need something needs to be done, so that these kids in america are protected. and are not doing things illegally. >> let me go back to the other point. you brought it up against the 100 milers. they're talking about robbing, rapes, gun violence. that in other words, there are people that are preying on the kids that are drunk, using drugs, selling drugs, there is a whole cottage industry to prey on those kids as well, and then the police can't possibly have the numbers needed to protect them? >> these deputies, i'm telling you, i was very impressed. our producer, we were both in the car, in hollywood. the three of us kept saying the whole time, we can't even get o to -- when the calls were going
10:29 pm
off, we would arrive on the scene and they already had them in the back seat. they are making these calls, there within a minute's time. protecting the beaches. >> the kids are more aggressive than ever before. their jobs are in jeopardy, that's why they're saying walk away from the crowds? be careful? >> i was fearful for my life. i had to go, at some point when i lost the photographer and producer on the beach. these two guys in particular kept harassing me and coming up to me, they were saying inappropriate things and were drunk. i had to go over to the two guys i was working with and say, can you tell him to get off of me. >> this is beyond drinking and drugs. i mean, if the average parent really knew what was going on. would it shock them? >> shock them. i was shocked and i don't even have kids. and i think i'm pretty cool. >> you're cooler than me. ainsley, tomorrow night you're going to be for part three of your report. >> tomorrow night, the portable jail cells, this is fascinating.
10:30 pm
>> it looks like a dog cage. the kids are being placed in there so the cops don't have to transport them two hours round trip to the jail. >> coming up, the ladies of duck dynasty are here tonight in studio to take us behind the beards of their hit show and a sneak peek of their brand new book. father and son are going to join me to weigh-in on the latest attack on black conservatives. don't forget, set your dvr. hannity the series so you never miss an episode. man: i know the name of eight princesses. i'm on expert on softball. and tea parties. i'll have more awkward conversations than i'm equipped for, because i'm raising two girls on my own. i'll worry about the economy more than a few times before they're grown. but it's for them, so i've found a way.
