7:00 pm
york times linking vets with white supremacists and hate groups. follow me on twitter at megyn kelly. let me know what you think. i'm megyn kelly and i'll see you tomorrow night at 9:00. >> this is a fox news alert, the most powerful democrat in congress has now officially stepped way over the line when it comes to his rhetoric around cliven bundy. i'm in for sean. according to the las vegas review general, harry reid called supporters of the bundy family domestic attorneyattor - terrorists. rancher cliven bundy is on the phone. this is just breaking this afternoon. tell us when you hear senator harry reid call you a domestic terrorists, what do you have to say to the senator?
7:01 pm
>> i guess he's right. we're definitely citizens worked up. the most loving people and we're meeting here together and they are definitely upset about this government that pulls their gun on us and, you know, they are -- i don't know. i just can't see how he gets that type of description out of these people. >> so cliven, when they actually backed off a couple days ago, it seemed like things calmed down. do you think senator harry reid is inciting more people to come back and support you? >> i don't know. sure he would be any time he calls us a riot, domestic riot, i'm thinking there is just going to be more people coming. they are not going to stand for that, either. >> are people still showing up? are new people showing up? >> we, we just had a press conference here and we started out with 32 people. before everybody got through, i talked to a lot of people and,
7:02 pm
you know, there are a lot of people concerning their -- their concern and their love and their prayers and yes, it just seemed to get bigger and bigger. >> now when these people heard senator harry reid called you a domestic terrorists, did you talk to the people standing locked arm and arm with you? >> you know, i don't think anybody knows about that, at least this is the first time i heard about it, nobody mentioned it so far. >> what do you think the reaction will be when those people hear they are domestic terrorists? >> probably a little bit like i am. i guess we are rioting, whether we are domestic rioters, i don't know. i'll tell you, there is unhappy people here and we are rioting against the federal government. those people carrying guns and pointing them at us. i don't think we'll put up with that in america. >> so what is next? is it going to take for the people that are backing you or with you to feel that this
7:03 pm
conflict is over to disburse? >> well, you know, their demand was take these guns away from these and i think they will hold to that. you know, a lot of people can't understand what they are talking about here but you realize you watch the films and movies which you people have seen, i haven't even seen and those people are treated, the forces retreated, they took their guns, vehicles and they moved across the freeways and got on i-15 and went north, and you know, that's the last time. why didn't those county and city sheriffs arrests these people? they have been abusing american people, abused my private property, abused my cattle, range, and hundreds of citizens by pointing the guns and yet, nobody says nothing. we haven't heard no media,
7:04 pm
nothing about the county sheriff questioning their -- they are a convoy of at least 100 vehicles going up north on i-15. we never heard nothing. why did they go? this is the question people are wanting to know. where did these guns go? >> right, right. >> so let me just draw a little line here. if some person robbed a convenience store and he went into mesquite, mesquite, nevada, the police would pick him up as fast as they could. if he went into arizona, went across the boards into utah, they could chase that guy down, no matter if they had to chase him here to new york. but here was 200 armed with heavy weapons and 100 carps and nobo -- cars and they disappeared like they went into a tunnel and it was okay. >> right, right. hey, mr. bundy, we're going to have to leave it there.
7:05 pm
we have senator ran paul on stand by right now. we're going to go to him in a second. thank you to rancher cliven bundy. from the great state of kentucky is senator ran paul. thank you for joining us. hats up for the first 2016 potential candidate to weigh in on the bundy ranch. when you hear senator harry reid, say, call the bundy family domestic terrorists, whatever side you're on whatsoever is there any reason to call americans domestic terrorists? >> no, i think what we should all be calling for is for calmer heads to prevail. i don't want to see violence on either side. there is a legitimate constitutional question here about whether the state should be in charge of endangered species or whether the federal government should be, but i don't think calling people names is going to calm this down. i think it's liable to stir it up. so i think all parties including senator reid should calm the
7:06 pm
rhetoric and have a peaceful solution. the endangered species act is abused across america. they have a lake in kentucky they won't put any more water in because they are worried about a fish. i keep asking, don't fish like water? there is a bat in the state where you have to pay the federal government to use your own land to cut down your timber, you have to pay them $2,000 an acre if they find a bat on your land. so it really is government over reach, government gone amuck with this endangered species act and here is the real question we have to ask the federal government. they say that mr. bundy owes some back fees. if he pays his fees, will they let him graze his 900 head of cattle? the way i understand it, no matter what he pays they won't let him graze his cattle anymore. so we have the balance the needs of a turtle and the man and needs and rights of property owners and i think this is a real debate and shouldn't be
7:07 pm
about violence and arms and the government shouldn't be there with arms and provoke a showdown. >> isn't that what the stage is being set for and maybe because of what senator reid just said, he not only called the bundy family domestic terrorists, everybody on their side is domestic terrorists. doesn't that sound like he's setting it up for military action, bringing feds in there? >> i don't know what will happen. from my perspective, i have a legal conclusion. i have a bill, and i believe the senator of nevada is a sponsor. this would give states more control over the land and more control over the engangered species act. i would like to see the governor of nevada and state legislature of nevada be in charge of trying
7:08 pm
to help preserve species and cattle and rancher's needs. nobody there knows about ranching or grazing of cattle or the history. we need to take this out of the hands of washington but let's have a rational debate but i have a bill that would actually fix this property. it's been in the hopper for over a year. we should ask senator reid if he'll let me have a vote. >> we wanted to get on some other top picks but let's stay on this. remember that little fish where they diverted the water from northern california around where that great growing area in central california, and really kind of jacked up prices for everything from bread to produce and what not. all over this delta smelt, this 2-inch fish. is government over reached getting out of control? >> absolutely. i can give you ten different examples just in kentucky. we tried to build a sewage plant in a small town in kentucky because when it rains the sewage
7:09 pm
was slowing into the river and nobody wants that. we tried to build a bigger sewage plant and we said it couldn't because it might affect the muscle population. we had to spend months and months to count the muzzles and they let us. the epa and fish and wildlife get involved every time you try to do something and think about it, everybody wants a sewage plant to be adequate so raw sewage doesn't go in the river but the epa and crazy environment has us counting muzzles and we build a sewage plant and wasting time and money on something i don't believe is endangered. >> president obama took a vehicle tory lap on the obamacare numbers. he said somewhere around 8 million people that enrolled in octob obamacare. he is confident in that number. are you? >> about 5 million people got their policies cancelled, so quite of the few people he's
7:10 pm
bragging about made them get rid of cheaper insurance and buy more expensive insurance. the other big question we'll have in the next few months, let's say you have subsidized health insurance. that's great. what if your deductible is $6,000? if you can't afford insurance, do you think you'll be able to pay for a $6,000 deductible? this is riddled with errors and decemb destined for failure. >> he said many enrolling are the young people, invincibles and i think the white house corrected him afterwards to somewhere around 24 or 25%. which number are you going with? >> i don't know the exact number but what we'll find out is in the fall if you don't have a lot of young, healthy people signed up, the premiums are going to go through the roof. my prediction is come fall, you know, the president is trying to delay that until after the election, but i think come fall, we'll find out that all of our insurance rates are going to go up dramatically and thank
7:11 pm
president obama for that. not only will you be able to keep your doctor, but cheaper health insurance. you'll have much more expensive health insurance than anybody has had in the past. >> thank you for spending time on "hannity "tonight, thank you. >> just in time for easter, clemson's football team is under attack. why? because they allegedly promote christianity too much and later. >> as i looked at president obama at our convention last friday, what all he took he's been able to rise politically again. i'm not comparing him to jesus, but i'm saying to every crucifixion there is a resurrection. >> al sharpton is at it again. we'll play his outrageous remarks, a quick programming note, tune in tomorrow night at 10:00 for a special "hannity," "the power of faith" tomorrow at 10:00 p.m. female announcer: get on board for better sleep.

7:14 pm
>> welcome back to "hannity" as christians prepare to celebrate easter this weekend, intolerance can'ts to persist and the latest victim is the clemson football program, the group freedom from religion foundation in a letter complaining to the university wrote christian worship seems enter woven into clemson's program and we're concerned this co-mingling of athletics results not from student initiative but attitudes and unconstitutional behaviors of the coaching staff. joining me is kirston powers and
7:15 pm
nick fish. they think god shouldn't be there and football players can't have religion, either. >> this isn't about football players having or not having god. this is about a coach that during recruitment visits said i'm a christian and if you don't like that you need to go somewhere else. he also said my first job is to pray. that's not religious intolerance to say that this man is not behaving appropriately and that there is a constitutional problem here when a taxpayer funded position, which his job is, is using his time to promote one religion over another and religion in general over non-religion. >> can i stop you? you said his time. >> sure. >> kirston, isn't it his time and he should be able to support and promote religion on his own time? >> he should be able to support and promote religion. it doesn't sound like he's doing
7:16 pm
it on his own time. i'm a christian and i take my faith seriously but i don't think that behavior is appropria appropriate. i don't think he should tell people if you're not a christian, you can't play here. it's not even a christian university. it's a public university. i think he would be crossing the line there if he's doing that. >> mr. fish, every baseball, football team in the country has a chaplain. are you saying that's wrong, too? >> baseball teams and football teams throughout the country that are private groups, they can do whatever they want with their money. do we think or do i think a group is more inclusive when they say to everyone, hey, you're all welcomed here, you don't need to -- >> just answer the question -- do me a favor and just answer the question. >> i am answering the question. if you let me finish. [ overlapping speakers ] >> if it's a public college -- >> no -- >> should they -- >> i don't think you should have a chaplain on the football team. you should make your football team a welcoming place for
7:17 pm
people of all faiths including none and when you have daily devotion ls and people handing out bibles, that's an atmosphere that's intolerant. you're not going to play on the football team if you don't come to the prayers -- >> you're bringing that statement somewhere else. kirston, what about a chaplain on the football team? is that impinging on non-christians rights? >> you know, i'm sympathetic to the view that it could be, it could make people who aren't, you know, christians uncomfortable. i understand that it is sort of, you know, part of our history and culture that this position existed but i also think i'm not uns unsympathetic to the fact it is a religion. they are really not supposed to be doing that. christians have opportunities all day long, all week long to promote their faith. i don't know why we have to have these positions that are either
7:18 pm
government positions or, you know, official positions promoting it. it doesn't really seem necessary. i don't consider that persecution. >> you guys aren't allowed to agree on that one. we'll move onto the next story. in stanton, ohio there was crosses placed on municipal property. mr. fish you say don't put crosses on a municipal property, why is that? >> that's right. when you put crosses on a municipal facility, you're endorsing a religion, endorsing a particular religion and that's unconstitutional. if they do that, they have to allow everything up there. i don't want my courthouse, state house to become a monument. >> you can't represent every single religion on the globe. >> you can't so what you have to have -- >> you're representing 80% of the religion, people in the country, maybe you want to do it. your thoughts? >> eric, i'm surprised that you seem so upset.
7:19 pm
come on, it's a municipal building. it's a government building. why do they need to put crosses up? they are not a church. if people want to have that, put it on their lawn, if they want to put it on their own business they own if they are a christian, they are totally welcome -- >> those people were elected by most likely the majority of the people -- >> wait a second. [ overlapping speakers ] >> the majority of people, the majority of people -- >> i got to go to the last one. al sharp tton comparing preside obama to jesus. do we have that tape? >> the story of jesus on the cross, no matter what they humiliated them with, no matter how they mocked him, he took it because he knew he could rise. as i looked at president obama at convention last friday, with all he's took he's been able to rise politically again. i'm not comparing him to jesus but i am saying that to every crucifixion, there is a resurrection for those that
7:20 pm
believe. >> kirston, reverend al says i'm not comparing him to jesus but. >> i kind of am. that's just crazy. that's nothing. really, it's disrespectful to the holiday. i know he's a christian but i think it's a disrespectful thing to say. >> mr. fish, you don't like this one, either, i guess. >> well, i don't care what al sharpton has to say about the resurrection. i think if he wants to say hey, if you're down and out, don't worry, you can come back from this, maybe frame that in a way that doesn't have to do with brutal torture and crucifixion. >> i think the moral of this block is atheist don't like to have fun at all. >> we have tons of fun. >> been let off the hook for rape because of his star status at florida state. "the new york times" article is questioning that. kimberly will be here to weigh in and later, todd starnes says he was censored by a liberal mob on facebook for a post about
7:21 pm
cliven bundy. he'll be here to explain that and more as hannity continues. to truck guys, the truck is everything. and when you put them in charge of making an unbeatable truck... ... good things happen. this is the ram 1500. the 2014 motor trend truck of the year and first ever back-to-back champion. guts. glory. ram.
7:22 pm
7:23 pm
. welcome back to "hannity" the new york time article is talking about jameis winston's rape case. police did not follow obvious leads after a female student accused winston of a sexual assault. it read an examination by the new york times found there was virtually no investigation at all, either by the police or the university. florida state university responded to the article questioning its fairness and saying most of the universities' responses were left out of the story. jameis winston went on to win the heisman trophy and led florida to the stat championship. was he let off the hook because
7:24 pm
of the star status at the school? to answer it, my fellow co-host of the five, kimberly. thanks for joining us and hanging out. florida state does the investigation, right? they hand over the investigation to the state of florida. they both look into it. j jameis winston is cleared. >> and wins the trophy. >> and the new york times saying that wasn't a good investigation. >> sure, yeah, really an interesting case study for us to look at as journalist and the media and as a former prosecutor, what went wrong here? he afforded different status or special treatment by virtue of his super star status with the university? we do know is the detective initially handling the kacase, waited almost two months and suspended inquiry without letting the accuser know and videotape evidence in fact was lost during the interim. that's of course, going to hurt the case is what prosecutors
7:25 pm
say, defense attorneys do, which is age the case. but in this case you have it being like that from the beginning by the investigators -- >> why, though? >> why is it? kind of excuses can they come up with for a case like this that is very important, especially when you deal with vulnerable victims of sexually violent acts that was alleged to have occurred in this instance? of course, he's gone on to great things, but the question should be asked, was he given the treatment? why were the delays in the case? that's why now people are still talking about it. >> so how does this work? you have florida state doing the investigation. >> right. >> does the state simultaneously do the investigation and aren't they sharing notes at all? >> you'll be surprised. they will conduct their independent investigation and you're supposed to respect the boundaries. let them do their thing like you see investigations with a number of different agencies involved, fbi, cia involved. who has jurisdiction? who gets the first bite at the
7:26 pm
apple and people committed, alleged to have committed multiple crimes across state lines. it will go to one state to the next state. are you hurting the case because you waited so long to get to the facts and evidence and get witness statements and preserve the evidence. >> we all know student athletes get special treatment -- >> that is part of this. >> let's go to the next one, mh 370 and malaysian airlines flight that nobody has found wreckage. a lot of lawsuits, families are going to bring lawsuits for wrongful death, i right? >> yes. >> without any wreckage or proof can they win a case? where is the case? >> people love u.s. courts. there are a number of law firms saying this is a big case, a tremendous amount of wind fall in terms of monetary damages. let me tell you something, the
7:27 pm
case isn't ripe yet. where is the plane? there is no evidence to say boeing is liable or culpable from any problem or failure on any part of equipment. we don't know what caused the plane to go down. we actually don't know where the plane is, so how can a judge in good conscience take this into a court and provide family members money damages when we don't know the full circumstances. >> so if it was faulty equipment, boeing would be on the hook -- >> yeah, faulty equipment or -- but then you have to look was there failure to maintain proper records or maintenance. there could be splitting on the liability there on behalf of air carrier. >> but they definitely have to find wreckage. it could be pilot error, equipment. >> how can you prove it? with this much time passing, the black box, battery being dead, there is a lot of problems and we don't know when if ever the plane will be recovered. how can you say, eric?
7:28 pm
we may get computer files of the pilot, co-pilot. find out what is going on. they are certainly looking at those as we speak but other than that you want forremember somebodies, pieces and parts of the planes to reconstruct what happened. >> isn't there -- this sounds cold but a per wrongful death that the airline is responsible for no matter what? >> yeah, you're talking about the monetary recovery based on the individual that they can cap it. what's the proper form? where should the lawsuits take place? not in the u.s. there is slim president to none that the u.s. courts should bear the liability and having a case in a situation like i think it has to be in malaysia. let's go to kathleen sebelius. earlier today president obama took a victory lap, he said 8 million enroll lees. >> he's a track star. take a lap. more than jameis winston. kathleen sebelius, it's said she
7:29 pm
may run for senate in the state of kansas. >> failure is the new success. whatever you're the worst at, maybe someone will hire you and give you a job. she's done well in the past. the most recent history isn't favorable in her regard and i think the red state democrats will be concerned because if she has her name on the ballot, it's big problems for them. >> can you imagine? >> like a billboard of obamacare. she is the poster girl, like it or not. >> can you imagine she spends, and let's remind everyone here, she didn't write the law. she didn't write the obamacare law. all she was in charge with was to implement it. she spent 700 million dollar on that. maybe they got a couple new enroll lees. that's a reason to run for senate. >> so questionable, isn't it, eric? the math. producing the numbers and suspicious, in terms of how they came up with the numbers.
7:30 pm
are they valid numbers, people dropped and got back into the game. i know this is nothing she should be patting herself on the back from. she needs to take a step back and perhaps take computer courses how to run an online website. >> can you imagine you can fail as miserably and win a senate seat. >> sounds like the u.s. government. they want to get more of our money. >> i don't buy the 8 million new enro enrolling. >> i don't get it. you're into math and stats, and making things add up. this must be a new kind of math they are teaching in school because it doesn't seem to be warranted. >> kg, what's the best show on tv? >> the fox. >> hannity. >> trick question. >>ed to starns censored by a mob on facebook. he claims he was and all because of a post he wrote about the bundy family stand off with the feds. he joins us next with proof.

welcome back to "hannity." my next guest says he was sensors on facebook for posting a comment about cliven bundy and his post. he said rancher bundy should have told the feds those were mexican cows that came illegally to seek better grazing opportunities. we reproved something our page posed. we removed the post below because it doesn't follow the facebook community standards. joining me is the author of "godless america." fox news radio host todd sterns. i'll talk about senator harry reid's comments in a moment, todd. you post this comments snarky, facebook didn't like it. >> eric, god love them, liberals
7:37 pm
don't have a sense of humor. disappoint the in the liberals. not the first time they have come after me for something i wrote on facebook. a lot of people think it's facebook removing conservative posts but they say the liberals have figured out and coincidentally all the people getting banned from facebook are somehow conservatives. >> who is that, it'ed t todd? they report you? >> yeah, i've been a bad boy in the facebook community. i was slapped and taken off facebook because i wrote about paula dean, god, cracker barrel and sandwiches and the facebook community took offense to that. this is nothing new and a plow the liberals do. they are targeting groups like chicks on the right, a popular conservative website and facebook seems to be helpless in
7:38 pm
solve thing problem. >> so it seems to be if there are number of reports they pull the post down and pull you off. let's talk about the senate majority leader harry reid calling cliven bundy and supporters domestic terrorists. thoughts? >> that makes me a baptist in infidinf infid infidel. calling law-abiding citizens terrorists for protesting is beyond the pale. what does he call them blm folks out there on that property trying to confen skate an american rancher's cows. >> so what is really at play here? senator reid, that situation seemed to calm down and d dissipate. what is going on?
7:39 pm
>> i read reports about land dealings are harry reid and his son. there is something there for the senate majority leader to come out and specifically target this american rancher. again, what about the cattle wrestlers, the ones who stole his cows? another issue i would like for somebody to explore, how much are we charging cows these days to eat american grass? seems a little over priced to me. there have to be thousands of different lawsuits of people maybe using a little bit of someone else's property across the way over there. are they domestic terrorists, too. >> that's a great question, eric. the heart of this, the reason this story resonated across the country is americans are sick and tired of their federal government intervening in our lives from obamacare to the irs to the tsa and what they are doing to us at the airports. americans are fed up and want to send a message they are not going to let them trample on the u.s. constitution. >> let's talk about where
7:40 pm
senator reid is doing this. from the senate floor, he stood on the senate floor a couple times and called the coke brothers anti americans. they create jobs and pay a lot of taxes and do a lot of donations and what not. these people aren't american, the people out in nevada are terrorists. what is happening? >> they also give, the coke brothers also give to democrats, as well. look, harry reid has a big problem on his hands where he can go after americans with a ban do that and at the same time, benghazi, where was he? >> should he check his comments? >> we have freedom of speech but when you're a government leader of that stature, you should be careful with words. harry reid was clear in the las vegas review he said just in case he wasn't clear the first time he called them domestic

back to "hannity" names of assassinations like lee harvey oswald are known throughout the world but my next guest plots the less known plots to assassinate the presidents of the united states. joining me now is author of "hunting the president, threats plots and assassination attempts." i picked up this book. fascinating. sir, take us through the lesser known plots against some of the recent presidents.
