"hannity" starts now. they were very credible and very specific allegations that a white house staffer was intimately involved with a prostitute. >> a new explosive scandal involving prostitutes rocks the obama white house. >> i think it's a very clear cover-up even more clear cut

than benghazi. >> anyone who's going to use the quran to commit crimes of violence is someone who's a criminal. >> joe, they're not criminal, these kids who are running over there. they have no criminal records and they're joining up with isis. >> was the oklahoma beheading simply workplace violence, or was it an act of terrorism? >> why did he do it? >> acts of violence before they put in jail -- >> individual pointed a gun at the police officer, fired at least three rounds and continued to pull the trigger. >> racial tensions flare up in st. louis after an 18-year-old is shot and killed by an off-duty police officer. new polls show new signs of life in the gop. bill hemmer is at the "hannity" big board with all the details. all of that plus the latest on the battle against ebola here in america. "hannity" starts right here, right now. welcome to "hannity." tonight, another cover-up is rocking the obama white house this time regarding the 2012 secret service prostitution scandal in colombia.

"the washington post" is reporting that the white house aides knew a member of the presidential advance team had a prostitute in his hotel room ahead of a summit that was attended by president obama. but despite the fact that the information was given to the white house in the weeks following the scandal and nearly two dozen secret service agents and military members were punished, well, the white house repeatedly claimed that no one from its team was involved in any misconduct. now, take a look at then-white house propaganda -- sorry, press secretary jay carney completely denying it during a presser in april of 2012. take a look. >> there have been no specific credible allegations of misconduct by anyone on the white house advance team or white house staff. nevertheless, out of due diligence the white house council's office has conducted a riew of the white house advance team. and in concluding that review came to the conclusion that there's no indication that any member of the white house

advance team engaged in any improper conduct or behavior. >> now, that's not all. "the washington post" is also reporting that the lead investigator in this scandal felt pressured by the acting dhs inspector general charles k. edwards to cover-up this mess. now the investigator allegedly told senate staffer, quote, we were directed at the time to delay the report of the investigation until after the 2012 election. pretty unbelievable. but should anybody be surprised? my next guest is urging the white house to come clean about the scandal. utah congressman jason chaffetz is with us. first of all, sounds like there's a lot of cover-up going on, benghazi, spontaneous demonstration, youtube video, all of this is to help a president get elected. so at the heart of this there's a big cover-up to help an election and influence an election, is that not the motive? >> well, again, that's not coming from some, you know, republican congressman from utah. this is coming from

whistleblowers, people whose job it is to go in and find this. we have it from multiple people. you have it from the inspector general's office, "the washington post" didn't put this front page above the fold because this is an old story as the white house wants you to believe. there are very credible sources, multiple sources who are making these allegations, they're serious and we're going to get to the bottom of it. we've seen this movie before unfortunately. >> we've seen it before. i'm going to get to that in a second here. i want to go through this because i think this is very important. we were directed at the time to delay the report of the investigation until after 2012 and the election. david nealon, the lead investigator on this colombia case for the dhs inspector general's office told senate staffers, and i know you're aware of this as well, and he also added that superior said to withhold and alter certain information in the report of the investigation because it would be embarrassing to the administration. so not only withhold it but

alter it. and then these guys were punished. explain the timeline of this. because they investigated. they had a report. then they were told to change it. then they were suspended. >> and there's three of them. i find it more than a coincidence that you have the inspector general's office, which is really has the authority to go into the agency, look under the hood, talk to anybody they want to. three people, three, were put on suspension there simultaneous, pretty much simultaneous to them criticizing the white house and questioning why are we putting this information in there? we have hotel records. we have details. we have talked to people. we have been on the scene. why wasn't that information in there? and then to hear jay carney and the white house say there was no credible information, there was no information, sean, that's just absolutely not true. and again, why i think "the washington post" puts it on page one above the fold, there's a lot of smoke here and we're

going to get to the bottom of it. >> all right. so what would the crime be here? obstruction of justice, and obviously obstruction of the inspector general process, right? isn't that a big crime? >> oh, it's a huge issue. mr. edwards who was the inspector general who supposedly, you know, allegedly allowed this to happen, he is still on paid administrative leave there in the department of homeland security. so you have these three people put on administrative leave. you also have -- >> do you believe that was retribution -- in other words they didn't want to alter the report. they questioned why the report was changed. now, i know at the time that they were told this is the normal editing process. is taking out the facts of the case, the conclusion of the investigation, is that editing? >> well, there was an independent group that came in and looked at this. and there was a determination specific to one of the inspector general there that it was directly tied to retribution for the fact that they were trying

to show the truth that there was a white house staff person, an aide there that was in cartagena that was engaged in bringing a prostitute to his room, a foreign national in his room right before the president gets there is just not acceptable. what's infuriating, you had nearly 24 secret service and military personnel, some were fired, some were reprimanded. but what happened at the white house? nothing. in fact, this person got a promotion. he now works in the state department. you can't make this stuff up, sean. he works in the office of global womens issues. that's what he's doing. >> and his father's a big dnc donor. >> yeah, what a coincidence. >> any different -- >> he also works for the administration. they both work for the administration still. >> fast and furious, irs, benghazi, isis is not the jayvee team, i never said that and you can keep your plan, keep your doctor and save money. we get lied to an awful lot here, doesn't it seem like that?

>> when i heard leon panetta just this week talk about the fact that, yeah, he did tell the president. he did tell the president it was a terrorist attack, come on, we have argued that for so long. and to hear secretary panetta say that, it's just not right. >> congressman, good to see you. thank you very much. we turn to the middle east where isis extremists are on the march amid u.s. air strikes in the region. terrorists are battling kurdish fighters for control of kobani, now that's a town on the border of syria and turkey. and according to some reports isis has taken control of more than one-third of the town. kurdish officials say they have retaken some parts of it. joining me now via skype is the editor at the news agency mohamud ali, he was on the ground near the border. sir, welcome. i know -- i was very shocked that the administration of barack obama says that the air strikes we are involved in is not designed to stop isis from

gaining territory. did you hear that? >> yes. actually, the impression of people here that the air strikes are really not effective and kobani needs more air strikes in order to just stop mercenaries from advancing into kobani. >> we heard from the administration today and cnn had quoted this earlier in the day as well that they're saying that the air strikes against isis haven't failed because they say that they were never designed to stop isis from conquering more territory. then one has to raise the question, then why are we involved in the air strike sns do you feel that the u.s. support has been enough to help against the isis fighters? >> i think that these air strikes are not enough. needs to be supported by ammunition. just air strikes, you know,

shells on some locations by isis. so ypg, in order to stop isis advancing in kobani is really ypg needs to be provided by ammunition. so this is the appeal of all of the people here in kobani to just support ypg ammunitions. american jets are not enough. it's what people are saying now, their impression about the american air strikes. of course three days ago air strikes were somehow effective. they choose to shell on some location of isis. but really, isis are still advancing in the streets of kobani. and really, are at the risk of attackers by isis artillery. >> all right. thank you, sir, for being with us. what we know now at this hour, isis is in control of 13 iraqi cities before the air strikes.

they're now in control of 14 iraqi cities. and in syria they control about ten cities. and about to take the city of kobani. one other bit of news, we also heard isis was only about a mile and a half away from baghdad airport, which is a big problem as well. but if air strikes are not designed to stop isis from gaining territory, one has to ask why are we involved there at all. also coming up on this busy news night, tonight, violence breaks out in st. louis, missouri after an off-duty police officer shoots and kills a black teen last night. but this time the cops say that the officer was fired upon first. but first, is the man who beheaded a woman in oklahoma, is he a criminal who committed murder, or is he a radical jihadist who committed an act of terror? and do we need to investigate the mosque and the imam where this person, this individual attended? coming up next, we debate that very question as "hannity" continues. automotive innovation starts...

anyone who's going to use the quran or any other religious artifact to commit crimes of violence is someone who's a criminal. >> joe, they're not criminals these kids that are running over there. they have no criminal records and they're joining up with isis. >> that was a clip from our heated audience show last friday debating whether the man who beheaded that innocent woman in oklahoma was just a common criminal who committed murder or a radical islamic jihadist who committed an act of terrorism. joining me now to keep this debate going, former nypd detective bo dietl, fox news legal analyst arthur adela. and former navy s.e.a.l. jonathan gillam is with us, not gilliam. >> it's silent. >> all right.

so we had on the program, i interviewed somebody in that mosque. and you saw the interview. this individual said that behind closed doors when people aren't watching they talk about jihad, they talk about suicide bombings, they support bin laden. that's within the mosque that this beheader attended. so does that not sound like radical jihad to you? >> i'm here to play the role of the lawyer, right? >> i asked you a question. >> sure. okay. >> counselor, answer. >> yes. i just said yes. but what did the family of the deceased want? they want to make sure this person gets punished to the nth degree of the law. so he's charged with the crime where he's going to get the death penalty. >> i'm not talking -- listen, i want the government to acknowledge the truth. his facebook page was full of radical islamic -- >> the problem is the fbi cannot make a connection between him and any other individual on the planet earth -- >> wait a minute, i have a witness. i have a member of that mosque saying that radicalism is being taught in the mosque.

>> you need more than that to convict somebody beyond a reasonable doubt. >> i didn't say convict. i'm saying i want them investigating. >> oh, i believe they are investigating. >> excuse me. why can't that be investigated? >> it can be investigated. >> they're spewing all this kind of stuff, they're radicalizing these people, they're teaching them to kill people. look, remember major hasan? he would have been a good defense lawyer for major hasan. you would have said self-defense? >> that's a different thing. >> why didn't our attorney general step up and say this was an act -- >> sean said it should be investigated and my understanding is they are investigating. my understanding is the fbi is investigating. >> this weekend, obama sent a representative from the white house with a letter from obama praising the imam and the mosque. >> right. it's just showing you that, well, you know, i know that's the reasoning why the attorney general and people are saying that they're going to go with murder in this case. but the reality is we need to start setting precedence for terrorism because we're going to

have more of this. and if we don't have precedence, this should be an automatic death sentence. >> excuse me. i think it is a first-degree murder charge which they have the death penalty. >> they do. >> regardless if it's isis -- >> they have a death penalty -- >> but when is terrorism going to start being a charge. >> but i think what sean is talking about and i agree. when you can prove, when you're the witness, that witness in in fact should be able to go before someone to a grand jury that they are preaching -- >> wait a minute. i want to go into the imam's e-mail. i want the beheader's e-mail. i want to know did they conspire? i want to know how they communicate. >> but you need probable cause to do that. it just says he practiced there. you can't start throwing subpoenas everywhere. >> they say they're radicalized. >> what is the connection to the homicide? >> because -- >> what is the connection to the homicide? >> if i get all the sudden my brain into a direction that i'm going to be radicalized, that if

i cut somebody's head off, i'm supporting isis -- >> hang on, hang on. jonathan? let me go to jonathan. here's what i want to do. if in fact this one individual who's a member who's come forward and says they teach this behind the scenes, doesn't that warrant an investigation that others might be radicalized, others might commit acts of terror? >> absolutely. if we were talking bank robbery, absolutely it would. why isn't it that way for terrorism? let me say this one thing. the same mindset that ben affleck had on a show when he was on the other day -- i know you talked about this, but that is the truth. that is one of the things that is pushing this. i want to challenge ben affleck and take one homosexual person, one jewish person and one female and go live openly in every islamic country including syria for two months each. that's what i want to challenge him to do. >> dead, dead and -- >> that's right. let's see if he stands up. >> what about conspiracy factor? >> that's what we're talking about. >> all right. >> we have someone telling us

this is a radicalized mosque with radicals in the mosque. >> should get the death penalty, sean. >> no, i want to know who else may be radicalized. >> nobody's disagreeing. nobody is disagreeing. >> coming up, protests erupt in st. louis after an off-duty officer shoots and kills a black teen last night. police say the officer was fired at three times. the teen's mother says that's not the case. juan williams, david limbaugh, they're with us next as we continue. . and when weather hits, it's data mayhem. but airlines running hp end-to-end solutions are always calm during a storm. so if your business deals with the unexpected, hp big data and cloud solutions make sure you always know what's coming - and are ready for it. make it matter.

this a fox news alert, this a fox news alert, protests erupted in st. louis, missouri late last night after an off-duty police officer fatally shot an 18-year-old black man who police say opened fire during a foot pursuit. st. louis police say the officer was working for a private security company at the time of the shooting. joining me now with the very latest is fox's own garrett tenney is with us. what have you got? >> well, sean, michael brown was shot two months ago today. and the tensions all across st. louis have remained very high ever since. a crowd of more than 200 people quickly gathered last night as

news of the shooting spread like wildfire across social media. family members of the 18-year-old who was shot identified him as vonderrit myers. they say he was holding a sandwich when he was shot, not a gun. ballistic evidence at the scene though found the teen fired three shots at the officer using a .9 millimeter handgun and tried to let off several more rounds after his gun jammed. in self-defense the officer shot back, firing 17 times. that response and the rumors the teen was unarmed is what had many of the demonstrators so upset. >> and these police officers are acting stupidly if they think that they can run things the way they were running it five and ten years ago. it's a different ball game right now. >> i know emotions are high. and i know tensions are high. but the reality is what we've seen or what the evidence tells me right now is an individual pointed a gun at a police officer, fired at least three rounds and continued to pull the

trigger. >> chief dodson also said this teen was no stranger to police. and we now know why. court records show myers appeared before a judge just two days ago for an incident earlier this year in which he was charged with the unlawful use of a weapon and resisting arrest. the unnamed officer involved in last night's shooting is now on administrative leave until an investigation by the department's new force investigative unit is done. that unit was formed after the shooting of michael brown to investigate any officer-involved shooting that results in a fatality. sean? >> all right, garrett, thank you. joining me now, author of "new york times" best seller "jesus on trial: a lawyer affirms the truth of the gospel", david limbaugh. and also joining us fox news political analyst juan williams. juan, it's going to be proven if the cop was shot at, the cop has every right to be able to defend themselves. do you have any issues with

that? >> no. >> okay. then why are these protesters -- there was another protest last night, leaders are now vowing violence if darren wilson is not indicted. now, we have mixed reports on what happened in the michael brown case. some say he was charging towards the police officer. others say he went on the knees. so we don't really know, which is i think why we haven't seen an indictment at this point because it's conflicting testimony. why are people out there saying that they're prepared to die in the streets for their cause and we're going to take our anger out on people who have failed us and that if they're prepared to deal with that then let them have at it. if they can't serve justice, well, we'll serve it for them. >> well, i think people have a real concern about the police officers acting, you know, radically. i think acting in such a way that 17 shots last night, but also in the case of michael brown no evidence that he was armed has ever come to light. so the question is -- >> it's not a matter if he's armed. the question is -- >> it sure does. >> well, it doesn't really because if you're -- if he was

as some reports -- remember conflicting reports in this case. >> yeah, we don't know. >> if he's charging at the police officer, and the police officer feels threatened, then that would be justifiable use of force by every definition. >> no. >> of law enforcement training. >> that's not true. >> that's absolutely true. >> absolutely not true. i mean, you're saying it's totally subjective and any cop can shoot any of us, you, me or david the minute that he somehow in his mind says i'm threatened. that's where you get into racial profiling and why people get so upset. >> but if you have a guy it -- well, we saw michael brown on the videotape intimidating the guy that was working in the convenience store. >> yeah. but it's also unrelated to the later shooting. has nothing to do with the later shooting. >> again, i'm playing devil's advocate. i wasn't there. you weren't there. but if the reports are true that he tried to get the officer's gun and that's where the initial shot -- wait a minute -- that's where the initial shot was fired. this is the other side of the story. we don't know.

>> we don't know. >> then that would be justifiable use of force. >> i don't think so, sean. again, the guy didn't have a gun. the cop could have gotten back in his car. he could have called for reinforcement. there's nobody -- >> a cop if he's being charged at in a threatening manner the cop is not allowed to defend himself? >> look, you keep saying this as if it's a fact. we don't know. but this person was unarmed. he didn't even have a knife. i don't see why he had to be shot repeatedly like that. that's all i'm telling. >> but you don't see. you weren't there to see, were you? you don't know how intimidating it was for that officer. you don't know if the reports were true that he charged the officer. >> look, we agree, neither of us was there. we don't have the information. >> i know. >> look how quickly the information came out about last night and the gunfire. we still don't know what happened. and i think that's in itself very sketchy. >> we know michael brown was involved in a robbery before this all happened. we know that -- >> that's unrelated. the cop didn't know. >> we know that the first shot

happened within the police car. that's been confirmed. and we know that there are two conflicting reports that either he was surrendering to the police or he was charging at the officer. so it's either one or the other. >> well, i just don't see -- i mean, to me what you're doing is engaging in speculation. like last night i think that's what set people off. >> let me bring david limbaugh in. david? >> -- was the fact there was this initial report that he just had a sandwich, and now we can say apparently he had a gun. >> david, i know we lost you briefly there, but we're glad to have you back. i want you to weigh in. is it justifiable if a police officer is being charged at by somebody and feels his life is threatened, is that not the legal definition of justifiable use of force by an officer? >> yes. and they're trained to use deadly force. we don't know all the facts. we don't have any idea whether the sandwich thing is going to bear out. he just had a sandwich or a gun. but apparently they found a gun on him. he fired it three times. would have kept shooting it except it jammed. but i think the bigger problem

here is that president obama's set up such a climate of polarization in race. if you heard one of the men that was just interviewed, he talked about the police acting stupidly. where did he get that? that's what obama said about the cambridge police. police acting stupidly. there's such a climate, obama talked to the u.n. about the ferguson matter. i just wish he and eric holder would get off this race thing. i'm sure juan agrees with that. that we've got to get off this distrust, this mutual distrust. >> we can't have leaders of ferguson saying that they're promising violence if they don't get an indictment of the police officer. that bothers me. and i think it should bother all of us. until the facts are in. >> david, let me just say i don't agree. david, you know, and sean, i just think when you have a situation of real tensions in ferguson and st. louis and you somehow want to blame president obama to the contrary i think obama has been a, you know, relief event for people who

otherwise frustrated and never get to speak out about living in fear of cops. >> the president ought not take a side if he doesn't have the facts like we don't have the fax. i'm giving both sides here. >> i think you're missing the elephant in the room, gentlemen. >> we got to roll. >> so many people in the black community fear these intimidating policeman. >> david, i'm sorry we lost you. we'll get you back. we gave juan too much time in this segment. >> all right. coming up, the countdown to the midterm elections continue. brand-new fox news battleground polls reveal the most hotly contested races are trending in favor of the gop. bill hemmer is standing by at the "hannity" big board to explain. later, a great american panel, we're going to look at kay hagan and that tight race that's going on in north carolina as we continue. c. no. in the basement. why can't we just get in the running car?

"hannity." 26 days and counting until election day 2014. brand new polls coming into fox news today reveal a republican trend in several senate battleground states. and he is the host of "america's newsroom" bill hemmer here at the "hannity" billboard. >> "hannity." that works for me. does that work for you? >> you work this better than i do. >> since we've talked on monday there's been some movement in some of these key states. that's what we wanted to show to you tonight. so on the "hannity" billboard, i like the little -- >> you like that? >> yeah. okay. so we have 12 to 16 states that are still, you know, too close to call. let's start 55-45 right now senate makeup republicans need six. let's start in the middle of the country. >> big changes. huge. >> what's going on? pat roberts against greg orman. we see a five-point edge for pat roberts. that's a pretty big jump, especially when you compare to the real clear politics average

which is pretty close right now if you put all the polls together. you're at 2.4%. >> there were two polls that came out. we have the five-point average in the fox poll and another had roberts up by one. a dramatic shift. >> it is. i don't know what's really going on out there, but let me show you what the approval number is for the president in kansas right now. he's at 63% disapprove. i mean, that is a really tough environment for greg orman, the independent who's been cast as a democrat in this race. >> he's going to caucus with the democrats. >> yeah. he wasn't really given -- he hasn't shown his hand on a lot of these issues so far. but roberts had a big bus going around earlier today. there was the debate there this week. he's working hard. we'll see whether or not that pays off. >> about that race the democrats wanted the democratic candidate out to support orman knowing he'd caucus with the democrat. >> we'll see whether or not that holds. the last time kansas voted for a senator that was not a republican -- >> 1930 what? >> 1932.

>> '32. >> i take that for a thousand, alex. movies. mitch mcconnell is in a tough, tough battle with a democrat secretary of state. democrat alison lundergan grimes. this is what we have found in our fox polling this week. we now see mcconnell with a four-point lead. which is a bit of a change because if you put all the averages together, that's a little higher than the real clear average which separates them by about three points. but just like in kansas, i mean, look at the disapproval number you have with the president, 59% again. what were you going to say? >> what's interesting is we have the james o'keeffe tapes come out. and talking to all -- >> the coal? >> about coal. oh, she has to say that in kentucky. she doesn't really mean that in kentucky. that has gone viral in the state. and i think the poll numbers are beginning to show it. >> and on this obama issue here she was asked again earlier today if she voted for the president. >> four times. >> and she kind of -- >> four times. >> said he's not on the ballot. >> four times. >> let me show you something else. advance it one time. we talked about kentucky over

here at 59%. this is the approval rating for the president. kansas is 63%. we have three other states to look at now, okay? colorado, you're at 57%, arkansas you're at 61%. alaska, you're at 61% as well. >> those are horrible numbers. >> i mean, it's a tough environment, you know? and when you're trying to find the six for the republican party, you start to look, okay, you keep kansas red, you keep kentucky red and you go into colorado. could you turn that from blue to red? >> poll came out six points cory gardener ahead in that race. >> all right. let me show it to you. we have him now, gardener, up six points against mark udall. now, that's a bit of a change when you put all the polls together. that's a lot higher. i think the average of polls is 1.3%. in alaska you have dan sullivan up four points according to our polling, which is a little less than actually the real clear average which is about five points. and this is the last one i want to show you in arkansas.

tom cotton has jumped to a seven-point lead according to our polling. which is about three points higher than the real average. >> well beyond. what i think is happening is you see now some consolidation beginning. i would also expect in the weeks leading up you might see some tightening. i think this is indicative of where i think the election is heading. >> i think cotton's got military experience. dan sullivan's got military experience. joni ernst has military experience. for months now republicans have been telling us they have put better candidates on the field. >> this is true. >> so far it seems to be playing out that way. >> cory gardner is big in colorado. if we can go back to the map one more time. >> we sure can. you got it. >> what i think. >> you want to do a little what if? >> i think republicans will hold -- there you go. i think they're going to hold kansas. >> okay. that stays red. you think they flip colorado. all right. joni ernst wins in iowa. >> even though polls have

tightened a little bit in south dakota -- >> an interesting story. >> interesting story this week. but i still think it's winnable. they're going to get that and pick up montana. >> now you're at 49. >> i do believe arkansas and louisiana. >> you think landrieu goes down. okay. >> i think west virginia certainly is a pickup. north carolina is too close to call. i think georgia does stay red as we say there. >> new hampshire? >> too close -- you know, there was a poll that came out today it was a three-point margin jean shaheen against scott brown. i still think that's too close to call in north carolina. if it's a wave election, i believe this would flip. and real outside potential could pick up that. sorry. >> i mean, that would be something right there. you're now 54-46. >> i don't believe that's going to be the case. i'm going to flip this back here. going blue and blue. i think we're going to be at 51, 2 or 3. >> okay. all right. >> that's my best guess. >> you could be right. 26 days away. i thought the fox polling was very interesting. the number of undecideds is

getting smaller and smaller every time we go out and poll. >> i hate that you run the "hannity" billboard better than i do. >> you know what you forgot actually? >> what'd i forget? >> well, we forgot -- >> oh, alaska. >> you think sullivan's going to be victorious, hit it one more time. >> now it works for you. >> that's okay. >> i said 51, 2 or 3. 51 would not be a great year, 2 or 53 are realistic. outside chances. >> what you're seeing in a lot of these debates and getting a lot more now almost every day in a lot of these different states, the republican candidate's hanging the president on their shoulders in almost every big issue. >> here are the big issues. what percentage of the time did these democratic candidates, kay hagan, jean what sheen, if you go to any of these states, udall, mary landrieu, they're all in the 97% range voting with obama. they all voted for obamacare. they're all trying to distance themselves from obama. kay hagan four times denying, wouldn't answer she voted for him. that's a big issue.

obama's a big factor. >> hagan seems to be up on tillis about four points. tillis was on america's newsroom with us earlier in the week. but look at this number here. >> that number is very telling. two recent polls in north carolina had hagan up by two. so that's within the margin. all right, bill. good to see you, man. appreciate it. don't miss "america's newsroom". coming up, if those bad poll numbers are not enough, we have another reason why democrats should be in panic mode. coming up next, we'll lay out the reasons why north carolina senator kay hagan may soon want to start packing her boxes. now here is a hint. >> people who like their insurance and their doctors keep them. if you like your insurance and your doctors, you keep them. >> she said that 24 times. coming up next, brian killme, steve hayes and cunningham are all here. and also the question of the day, we're going to get hemmer's answer. stay with us. >> nice. the conference call.

the ultimate arena for business. hour after hour of diving deep, touching base, and putting ducks in rows. the only problem with conference calls: eventually they have to end. unless you have the comcast business voiceedge mobile app. it lets you switch seamlessly from your desk phone to your mobile with no interruptions. i've never felt so alive. get the future of phone and the phones are free. comcast business. built for business. welcome back to "hannity." we just mapped out this year's battle for the senate and how north carolina plays a very key role in winning it. so i'd like to take this time to help educate you voters about the tarheel state's democratic incumbent senator kay hagan and her abysmal record.

let's start by looking back at just a few of the at least 24 documented times that she peddled this lie on behalf of the president and his disastrous health care plan. look at this. >> of course we need to make sure that the people who are happy with their insurance can keep it. i think the fundamental promise of this effort to the american people has been and should continue to be that if you got health insurance now, you're happy with it, you can keep it. >> all right. that's not the only issue she sided with obama on. in fact, she can't name one policy of his she regrets supporting. take a look. >> now that you've claimed to be a moderate, claim to be independent, which of the policies out of the 96% that you've supported do you regret? >> you know, speaker tillis, as far as policies -- president's policies on the ballot right now, i don't think you understand two things. one, the effectiveness. i don't think you know my record. america works bill passed,

tuition assistance bill passed, camp lejeune water contamination bill passed. >> senator hagan, i assume by the fact that you haven't mentioned a single vote you regret that you're proud of the fact that you voted with the president 96% of the time. >> here are more of fox & friends co-host brian kilmeade, stephen hayes of the weekly, tv host bill cunningham. guys, good to see you. >> good to see you. >> put up on the screen the percentage of times she voted with obama last two years 96%. >> so to me, if you're worried about that, and obviously the polls show that the president of the united states is not popular, he's not campaigning with you, why don't you just say i voted for this but it did not turn out the way i promised. here are the issues i separate myself, or i really regret my vote, how can you not have that answer down come debate time? it's the first question out of the box. >> i don't know if that's as bad.

alison grimes four times today refused to say she voted for obama. i mean, obama is the issue. obama health care, the bad economy, foreign policy. >> after the president said the other day that his policies were going to be on the ballot, you had republicans out within hours of new ads hitting vulnerable democrats linking them to the president and his policies. the knack kay hagan and alison lundergan grimes and other democrats don't have ready answers to that most obvious question of this entire election cycle is absolutely staggering. >> the problem is she voted for these things. what is she going to say? i regret my vote? i mean, they're in a box that's it's hard to get out of. >> i was for obama before i was against obama. and this leon panetta stuff, the last two or three days, this hurts more than bob gates. a lot of people think bob gates, bush. but they don't think leon panetta. >> leon panetta. >> this is right to the heart of the obama presidency. and you can't find him with a search warrant right now. he's not campaigning with any democrats because he's toxic. obama is toxic. >> but he's bringing in the money. he was in greenwich, connecticut

the other day, out to los angeles, san francisco. >> rich man's house. >> yes. talking about republicans only being in favor of the rich, earning $32,000 a person. >> pass the champagne. don't spill it in the rolls-royce. >> exactly. leon panetta, the over thing he said, that obama wanted to stop leading. a mixed message that went out with regard to the role of the united states and that basically he wanted other countries to pick up the slack. he wanted to get out -- i mean, isn't it america's role to lead? that's worse than leading from behind from what i'm hearing. >> i think it's one and the same. we saw this with libya. the president's staffers, the president's advisers made this their case. they boasted about the fact that this was a president who was not going to put the united states forward, whether it was libya or now, whether we're talking about syria, whether we're talking about iraq. this is a president who is much more comfortable leading from behind. >> it seems that the issues that are emerging, it is the president. how many times -- what percentage of the time did you

vote with the president? did you vote on health care? let me play one other issue. this is hagan making excuses for skipping an isis hearing to attend a fundraiser. this is huge in north carolina right now. >> there was one. and what had happened at that hearing, it was scheduled early in the day. and then votes were scheduled. and that hearing then, that hearing then had to be postponed later that day. so yes, i did miss that one. >> for a fundraiser. and now the president 40% of the time only reads his intelligence briefs. >> this is important for a couple of different reasons. originally her staff said she missed that for another hearing. this is a change in her story. secondly, north carolina is about 10% veterans. they take their military obligations seriously. the fact that she didn't show up to go to a fundraiser, the tillis campaign is on the air 100% with isis ads right now. >> prediction. who takes this race in north carolina? right now the last two polls have hagan up by two. >> here is the thing.

suddenly defense matters. it didn't matter six months ago. it certainly matters now. i also found out she missed nine of 21 armed services meeting. those are the ones you know of where you take attendance let alone the closed doors. right now i have not seen hagan anything but in the lead. but as far as she is only up by two, i think it's going to be tillis has not been that strong either. so i think right now -- >> he's gotted go record, though, as a speaker. >> as a speaker so far he certainly looked good the other night. it's really going would be the the two candidates. i think tillis is going to find a way. >> romney won by two in 2012. in a better year. i think tillis wins. >> ebola, isis, beheadings, i think it's tillis. >> give me the final number, what republicans, what is the senate going to look like come january. >> 51.5 to louisiana and then 52. >> i got 52 or 3. >> what do you got? >> look out for south dakota. it looks like kansas is going to

the republicans. south dakota is in play. >> i'm not worried about south dakota. >> the money is flowing in there, which means the democrats see something internally. i don't think there is going to be a runoff in louisiana. they're going to convince the third candidate to drop out. >> watch the ground game. >> in georgia, only one point race for purdue today. that's one i'll pay attention to. you have two big names on the ballot, carter and nun. all right, guys. god to see you. coming up, you don't want to miss. this your favorite the question of the day is next, straight ahead.
