ok, well, good talk callum in for megyn kelly. welcome to "hannity." it's a brand new movie everybody's talking about. now it's been nominated for six welcome to hannity. it's a brand new movie everybody is talking about. now it's nominated for six oscars. we'll be focussing on the life of chris kyle and the blockbuster movie about his life, "american sniper". >> do you ever think that you might have seen things or done things over there that you wish you hadn't? >> that's not me no. >> what's not you? >> i just protecting my guys. they were trying to kill our soldiers and i'm willing to meet my creator and answer for every shot that i took.

>> "american sniper" the blook buster hollywood hit details the life of navy s.e.a.l. chris kyle. the most lethal sniper in u.s. military history. having accumulated 160 confirmed kills. tonight you'll hear from chris kyle's father in an emotional interview you'll only see right here on hannity. >> he volunteered. he wanted to do this. i knew he was doing something that he loved to do. plus you'll hear from chris kyle's widow and what she thinks of this hollywood film. >> they did such a good job of making it so authentic that i got to relive some of it which is beautiful, and wonderful, and painful. >> our one hour special on the life of one of our greatest american heros starts right now. >> the movie "american sniper" focuses on the life and legacy of one true great american

hisselfhero. joining us is the author of lone survivor. former u.s. navy ranger sean parnell and former u.s. navy s.e.a.l. jason redman. mark it's good to see you again. you had a great movie too. i loved your movie as well. wish you got an oscar. this got six nods. howell did you know him? >> chris and i came up together in the teams from the basic training all the way through our whole careers through the time they retired us. >> i loved your movie as well. it was pretty fantastic. he has more confirmed kills than any soldier in u.s. history. did he ever talk to you about it? >> in a sense relatively i guess is the best way to put it. it's not something that you talk about. we sit around and talk about the

number of that we have down. i'm sure that there were some times that things go down that bothered us and you wanted to get it off your chest. that happened all the time but -- excuse me not all the time -- every now and again but for the most part it's a deal where you put it in the back of your head and push forward. >> do you feel -- because i love the movie lone survivor. i love this movie too. i assume you saw the movie by now. do you think this accurately portrayed chris? do you think this captures who he was. >> i came and saw it. mel and i came up there to watch it. i think it portrayed chris -- it captured his spirit the best that it could have. i think bradley did a fantastic job. i think he worked hard. you saw how bulked up and same with them. the most important thing is if

the family signed often on it. you can careless what i think but for the most part they did a great job with it. >> sean we're going to talk to chris's wife and wayne chris's dad later. wayne tell us what you knew about chris. your relationship and what you thought of the film and do you think it portrays him. because to have more confirmed kills than any soldier in history and saving lives in the process and the movie captured that. it's pretty amazing. >> i had the honor and privilege of meeting chris in 2012 when american sniper came out. i met him at a boot campaign charity shooting event. we both felt like we knew each other for a long time and we hit it off and he was just an incredible guy. but you know american sniper the important thing for people to realize and recognize is it captures the totality of war. not just life on the battlefield for our troops. and for the most part, you know our journey truly begins when we start coming home and i think

american sniper captures that and i think more importantly i think everybody that's watching this show tonight should seek to make american sniper the number one movie in the country because it's going to educate future americans on what it's like to be in iraq and afghanistan and more importantly it's going to show americans the true heros that fought there. and chris kyle is definitely one of those people. >> and lone survivor did the same thing marcus for you. let me go to you jason. howell do you know him? does this really capture life for the people that are out there on the front lines fighting these wars for us every day? >> absolutely. it's essential that movies like this get out there. american people have a misconstrued view of what happens on the battlefield and sometimes they paint some of our warriors as these guys that all they do is thirst to go into battle and one of the things that i like about american sniper is it shows the person that chris wassel he was an amazing sniper. he was an amazing warrior but he

was an incredible father and brother and teammate to all of us and i think the american people need to see that. these are the warriors that are going out there defending the freedom of this country and they're doing it not only for their country but bigger than that, they're doing it for their families and they're doing it for their fellow american citizens. >> marcus when i talked to wayne, chris's dad, and he's coming up in the next segment and his wife is coming up he actually sat down with bradley cooper and clint eastwood and said if you dishonor my son i will open up the gates of hell against you. and i ask you -- >> that sounds about right. >> i guess you know wayne then. >> yeah. >> i loved his dad. i honestly think the world of him. when you had to go through -- you went through the process. i actually saw behind the scenes where you were working with mark walhberg. you were on the set of "lone

survivor." were you feeling the same way? you had the honor those people that died? you were the only guy to come back from that mission? did you feel that same sense of responsibility. >> absolutely. you have to understand. 19 of my teammates died and then 19 familiad to make sure that when "lone survivor" was made that -- it didn't really matter what i thought. it was whether or not the families gave their blessings and whether or not they signed off on it. whether pete did a good enough job and mark and all of those guys pulled through to bring and to capture the life of each one of the guys that died and that's the soul difference between lone surveillance survivor and american sniper. it's about chris and his family life. you go watch "lone survivor" it's war. chris's movie, "american sniper" it gets into the stuff that

jason talked about. the family part of it. i wasn't married and mikie he was engaged and matt was married but that's part of our world that nobody gets into. we really don't talk about and "american sniper" brings that out and gives you a snapshot of what it's like to be married to a team guy to go through war and i think they did a great job of capturing that part of it. >> jason what about hollywood for a minute here? i was a little ticked off when "lone survivor" they served nods and didn't get it but we got six nominations here. do you think hollywood is waking up to the fact that the american people, there's a market and an appetite for real life heroism. i know it's batman superman spiderman but they also want to hear the stories of real americans that protected their freedoms. >> yeah, that's an essential element of what built this country into what it is. and there's some on the left

that want to paint our warriors as warmongers. they have these ideas that our military members sit in a dark room at night sharpening a knife praying for war and that's not the case. they're heros because they're willing to step up and stand for something they believe in. that's what chris was willing to do. marcus, shawn, myself every veteran that's out there. that's true heroism. going out there and having the courage to face something. >> and when you go home and i'll ask later, but is it that hard? in other words you're in a war zone. you go home. is there a switch you get to flip? i don't think so. i would think that's hard -- here he is having to make life and death decisions and he may be killing kids and women that are about to hurt his troops. is it hah hard as they depicted in the film? >> you know war is a horrible thing, you know? but i do think that most of us have the ability to

compartmentalize in those moments. you were focused on the mission and the guys around you. you make those decisions to accomplish those things. accomplish the mission and protect your men and you know every mission that i was on we took out people that deserved to be taken out. there were people that were evil and would be glad to do harm to americans. i won't say that you can't put it in a box and just lock it away but you do your best to manage it knowing that you were doing it for the right reason and doing it for the right people. >> sean we'll give you the last word here. >> yeah i totally agree. when i was in afghanistan i was a regular infantry man. our job was to destroy the enemy every single day. we held our ground and killed 350 bad guys that i don't regret a day of that but the real journey for me started when we came home and when i came home and my men struggle every single day and i know that marcus and

jay understand that but it's a fight that's worth fighting and we're glad to bear that burden on behalf of america. >> thank you for what you've done for your country. the movie is phenomenal. appreciate it guys. coming up next on the special edition of hannity. >> i'm hear to tell you that you never get over it. you learn to live with it. and that's what we're struggling to do right now is just trying to learn to live with it. >> my emotional interviews with chris's father wayne who you saw right there and his wife right after the break. take time for sunday. just know that your truck... has a little thing for monday.

just the thought of quitting makes me want to light up. i say we take this one less cigarette at a time. that's what i'm doing and that's how zonnic helps me quit. new zonnic nicotine gum. every victory counts.

yes, sir. >> my name's -- you saved my life. we met in fallujah. >> i >> you saved my life. >> you just need to balance. >> i did? >> yes, sir. we were stuck in a house until you came in with the first marines. you were the one that carried me out. >> that was a clip from "american sniper" based on the life of the most lethal sniper in u.s. history chris kyle and i recently sat down with chris's father wayne to talk about the movie and more importantly his son's legacy. >> wayne nice to see you. i had a chance to speak to you on the phone. thank you for being on the program, sir. >> thank you, sean, i appreciate

it. >> first thing i said to you, i saw the movie "american sniper." i would urge everybody to see it. i knew the story of chris ahead of time. i send my condolences and thoughts. how many americans lives were saved because of your son is probably incalcuable. >> that's one of the things that bothered chris. he wanted to know how many lives he saved rather than how many lives he took. it's an unknowing number. >> you know, it's an amazing -- what i really liked about the movie is that it literally brings you into a situation, the movie opens up and i won't give away the plot in anyway where your son and this was a true story, there was a muslim woman and there was a young child. the woman takes something out of

her clothing and hands it to the son and your son who is way far away has to determine whether or not that's a bomb that they're about to use on american soldiers. i won't tell the outcome of it but that's a true story, isn't it? >> yes, sir it sure is. >> and you had grandkids. he had his own kids, right? >> yes, he has a son and a daughter. he had both of them. he may have only had his son at that time. >> yeah. and that was the type of decision -- that was what he was asked to do every day. when you would talk to him about the things that he did how did you react as a dad knowing the situation and the moral dilemmas he had to deal with? how would you react to that? >> well, things like that really didn't bother me because i knew chris was doing a job and he

volunteered. that's one thing about our military today. it's all voluntary. he volunteered. he wanted to do this and i knew he was doing something that he wanted to do. and he would put his fellow warriors ahead of everything else and save their lives and not worry about the lives that he had to take. >> yeah. you met with clint eastwood and bradley cooper before the making of this movie. and i got a chuckle. you actually told them if they dishonored your son i'll let you say it in your own words. >> well i told them i looked both of them in the eye and i said if you do anything to dishonor my son i'll unleash hell on you. >> i came away being thankful and appreciative that there are people like your son in this world that protect our freedoms every day. what did you think about the

movie? >> first of all mom and dad are probably the worst critics in the world but i think both debbie and i feel that bradley cooper did an outstanding job. he put his heart and soul into it. and trying to learn chris's mannerisms mannerisms, his speaking, i think he spent about four months constantly studying and you can't learn something in four months that it took chris 38 years to perfect. and he had asked me ahead of time, or i guess he said that he felt like the movie would be successful if debbie and i could look at the screen and see chris there. and i told him ahead of time. i said bradley, that's not going to happen but that doesn't make you a failure. and i called him right after we

saw the movie and told him how we felt about it. and thanked him for what he had done. and there were several times the way he would look we could see chris in his mannerisms and everything. we feel like that bradley did an outstanding job. >> i said this to you privately and i'll say it publicly. i can't imagine -- your son had more confirmed kills than any other person in our military in history. he is a true hero. he saved likely thousands and thousands of fellow soldiers lives. i can't imagine the pain that you and your wife have gone through. he is a true inspiration to me. a real life modern day american hero. the movie for me captured that about your son in every way. and i am so sorry for your loss. >> thank you sean. i appreciate that.

from both myself and my wife. it's been a struggle. it's kind of bittersweet because we're happy and glad that people still are aware of chris and see the man that he was and still is to us. and yet it hurts that there's always that constant reminder. we have reminders in our house. but when you turn tv on or you go out in public there's always that reminder. and that pain will probably never go away. it's not -- i had a gentleman tell me a few days after chris was killed, he said, i'm here to tell you that you never get over it. you learn to live with it. and that's what we're struggling to do right now is just trying

to learn to live with it. we have another son and his family that, you know, we enjoy being with and take pride in them as well. >> wayne i can see where your son, chris got his strength from. he got it from you and his mom. thank you, sir for being with us and your son is a real tribute to what courage and heroism is. thank you for being with us. we really appreciate your time. >> thank you sean. i appreciate you. >> thank you, sir. and coming up chris kyle's wife taya on what the movie means to her and how she helped bradley cooper and sienna miller prepare for the big screen. osteo bi-flex®... ready for action.

okay? i need you to be human again. i need you here. >> welcome back to the special edition of hannity. that was a clip from "american sniper." chris kyle's wife taya spent time with them to help them prepare for their roles in the movie. taya gave both actors access to her penl home videos of chris. thank you for being with us. i really appreciate it. i guess if i was going to be portrayed in the movie bradley cooper would be pretty good and sienna miller is pretty good too. how real do you think they were? do you think they captured your relationship? was that a real clip? >> you know, i think they did a phenomenal job honestly and taking a person's life and putting it into two hours you have to condense some things and portray some things with the right sentiment and maybe not the exact verbiage but even the accurate over a long period of time if you condensed it.

certainly it gets the sentiment right and bradley and sienna did a phenomenal job as far as dialect and manannerisms. >> i know that chris's dad wasn't as happy as you are with the film. let's talk about life at home. he had all of these deployments. more confirmed kills than any other u.s. soldier. it's a pretty amazing accomplishment and each one of those saved people's lives. when he came home, did he talk about what happened? did he say i had to make this choice killing a kid? killing a woman? did he ever tell you about it? >> yeah, he told me about his experiences but they were in clips and it was during certain times it could be just a drive down the freeway or a lot of times it was when we were with friends or somebody else and he would let his guard down a little bit in time but a lot of the reason he didn't share things as they were happening with me, he didn't want to scare

me and he knew he would be going back. so as much as i would tell him that my imagination is pretty powerful and i watched the news and the coverage and i'm not naive to what would happen over there he felt pretty strongly that there was a time and a place to let me in on more. so that happened as the days went by and certainly even after he got out we talked about more but his protective nature is not something that he can really pull back and that's part of it was him not wanting to scare me. >> so that was really a real clip and as much as after -- he had four deployments. he wants to go back because he's thinking i've got more guys have to save because he knows the danger that he's in and he knows he saved their lives. was that real? >> yeah absolutely. and part of the beauty of chris is that he wouldn't say those things to me like honey i'm saving lives over there. i'm making a huge difference. although i would hear those stories from other people and i know that that's what he is

doing and i would learn more over time. but, you know, when it got to the point where it was time, it wasn't just me saying it's time because i need you. yes. take a beating, his soul taking a hit. and really they don't typically deploy people but really they don't typically deploy people back to back to back for ten years like they did with chris. usually you would have a shore duty in between. time to decompress or have the family get some time together. but with him you know, i think the exact words i heard were needs of the navy and that's not the people he served directly with in his platoon or in his team but there were people right outside of that, like a master chief that hasn't seen combat that's making those decisions and he felt like they needed chris there and i don't want to brag this on too long but i will tell you chris did even after he got out there was always a

bittersweet part of that. the part that he felt like he let his country down not continuing to be on the battlefield regardless of the cost. >> what an incredible hero on record. it's hard to imagine that he felt he didn't do enough. i want to talk about the hard part of this. explain when he finally decided i'm going to stay home. i've got my wife. i've got my kids. he struggled a little bit. at least according to the depiction in the film and he found an outlet to this and that leads us to a really heart wrenching sad ending. talk about that in your own words and the lead up to that. >> it's a really interesting thing and chris was a very intelligent person even though he never liked me to say that to people. but, you know, he did go through a hard time and i think it took us both by surprise. he knew he would have a hard time getting out but to the level it was difficult was surprising to me but what we learned and what i heard him say later on toward the end of his

life was he would tell people i'm never going to tell somebody to get out of the military but i will tell them if they choose to and if they need to they will find more joy and contentment in their family than they ever imagined and i feel like that's a pretty powerful statement and it encourages people to know that there are -- there is more to life than just what they have there. and i want to be very clear that i'm not saying they shouldn't serve and chris wasn't saying that. it was just if they needed to comforting them in that it's okay. there will be life after this but everybody goes through a year or two of a difficult time transitioning back to the lack of the brotherhood. the lack of having people that would die for you in your work place every day. it's a huge transition. >> explain, it's so sad considering all that he had been through and all the time he spent in theater in the war zone. explain the circumstances surrounding his death.

>> you know i'll never know a way to justify it or have it make sense. i still have the two sentences that run through my mind without me being able to really control them is, it doesn't make any sense or i don't understand. and i think that's a common thing for people who are grieving or who lose someone unexpectedly to feel for quite a long time. i think the horror of it really is that, you know this man this evil took the lives of two really good men. chad littlefield was a father and a husband and a good friend. and chris was the same. and they were just there trying to help him. so the horror of it is that they were there trying to help and that somebody could turn his gun and intentionally kill two people in cold blood. that's where the horror is i think. for me. and at the same time i think maybe it was always in some way chris was going to die the way

he lived serving others because that was such a big part of him. thank you. your husband was a great hero. this is arn amazing tribute to chris and the military and to people like yourself because you sacrificed a lot as well as did your kids in the process allowing these guys to serve their country ifthe way they do. >> i will say maybe it's not just our story but sits story of a lot of veterans too. i hope they feel that way when they see it. >> well said. thank you. >> thank you. >> coming up actor bradley cooper went through a radical transformation to play the part of chris kyle and he was nominated for an academy award. we'll hear how cooper got himself ready for that role coming up next. love drama? go on a first date. my passion is puppetry. here?

>> we need you on overwatch. >> if i'm on the street mark. >> house to house is the deadliest job here. you got some sort of savior complex. >> i just want to get the bad guys but if i can't see them i can't shoot them. >> that was another clip from "american sniper" and bradley cooper has been nominated for the oscar for best actor for his portrayal of chris kyle in this film. mike interviewed bradley cooper about the role. take a look. >> did you have a chance to get to know him before? >> no, i talked to him once on the phone. he was who bhi murdered two days after we turned in the script. i thought i would basically move in with them so everything changed. it was an incredible amount of source material. i feel like i know him and people ask that question and have to stop myself and say no but i feel like i know him so well which was interesting. it's pretty simple.

there was always one clear idea we always had which is its a character study and chris is a charismatic guy and his story serves for everybody's story and the struggles that military men and women have to do and the toll it takes on families. if anybody watching the movie f they don't know anybody in the military maybe they'll think twice when they pass somebody in the airport and they can just say people are coming back and we have to take care of them. >> we were lucky that taya kyle opened up their lives to us. all of their e-mail exchanges for four tours in iraq which was invaluable. photographs, videos. she took so many home videos because you just never knew if he was going to come back. we had all of this great source material like a treasure chest for us. >> joining me is the vice president of marketing host of in the fox light. >> good to see you. >> you have a really hard job. you have sienna miller bradley

cooper you go to the oscars right? >> someone has to do it so you don't have to sean. >> you even look hollywood now. >> be kind. >> he has gel and the black jacket on. >> don't hold it against me. >> no listen. look, if somebody asked me my favorite movies gladiator, "brave heart," passion of the christ," i have to add to this this movie. that's how much i liked it. i just loved it. >> i'm right there with you. this is one of those movies hollywood could have gotten wrong in so many ways and we would be having a different segment. >> i'd be angry. >> but it's due to guys like bradley cooper completely committed to this project and brought on clint eastwood and what other man to do this kind of movie so well. >> clint got criticized at the republican convention but that's not what he really does. this is what he does. he does movies and he's great at it.

it's funny what father's said wayne to me, i'll open up the gates of hell. >> somehow i don't think clint was that worried. i get what he was trying to get at. >> but the conversation the fact that bradley cooper cared that much. he's probably a hollywood liberal and doesn't like me too much. >> i don't know. this was a real passion project for him. he gained 40 plus pounds and all of that and there's been some criticism from the left about this movie and he blasted them the other night saying this is not about debating the war. this is about a character portrait, a man, and the men and women that serve and their families. >> it's like "lone survivor." they cared. bradley cooper saying i want to get this right for you. >> it comes across on the screen. >> let me talk about bradley cooper saying he hopes american sniper sheds light on what the servicemen and women have to go

through every day and he says if it's not this movie i hope another movie will come out where it will shed light on the fact that what servicemen and women have to go through and the need to pay attention to our vets. it's not a political discussion about war even. it's a discussion about the reality and is reality is people come home and we have to take care of them. chris was taking care of other people. >> as tough as some of the battle scenes are in this movie some of them are tough, the toughest moments are when he's home. there's the great line when he comes back from his first tour of duty and his wife taya can see he's a little removed and says you have a duty to come home and be here. yeah that was pretty powerful. >> it was. i thought they had great chemistry. sometimes people are put together and it's bad. >> i'm giving you a hard time.

he talked about chris kyle. >> what do you hope people will take away? >> just the understanding of the problems of conducting a war you know, or being somebody that is considered a good soldier or in this case navy personnel, navy s.e.a.l. and doing -- being good at his job and then having to go home and having to leave and turn around and leave the family with great kids and great wife and parents and everything. i've met them all. they were fantastic. i don't know how he did it. >> they all cared about -- i think they cared more about what the family thought than what the audience thinks. >> absolutely. everybody i spoke to said the same thing, there's more pressure when you're trying to portray real people than fictional characters so they felt that and took it very

seriously. >> i totally agree with you. what did you get out of when you interviewed these actors. what did they tell you was motivating them for this movie.this. there you get to sit down with the biggest hollywood actors and actresses. >> complete honor. >> seriously. >> they all wanted to get it right. their love and passion for what chris did and stood for that motivated to nail it and take a great deal of care with it and it comes across. i could totally see it again. >> what's your next project? >> heading out to the sags. screen actor's guild. >> come on. >> whatever. >> join me on the red carpet. it will be fun. >> i don't think i would be invited. i would be booed on the red carpet. >> you'd be surprised. you have a lot of friends out there. >> there's a group of us. >> i hear about you all the time. great work. >> good to see you. appreciate it. coming up besides best actor american sniper received five

like you said i really believe this is going to win best picture. it should win best picture. there are a lot of movies like grand budapest hotel, imitation game, bird man that are big contenders but i have my money on this movie. >> i do too. how does the golden globe shut it out and the oscars give it this. >> i tell you why. the golden globes does not mean anything when it comes to the oscars. a lot of people believe if it wins a golden globe you are a shoe in for the oscars or if you don't win a golden globe you are not going to win the oscars. the people that vote for the golden globes is hollywood foreign press. it is about 100 people who actually snubbed "unbroken" angelina jolie's war movie an american film, "american sniper." >> i loved "unbroken," too. >> it was snubbed in all categories.

"interstellar" was also snubbed. i am not saying the american foreign press doesn't like american films but the oscars six nominations that's something something. bradley cooper up for best actor. >> i thought he was amazing. chris's wife, his father both liked what bradley cooper did. ee >> bradley has given numerous interviews saying he watched countless interviews on chris. he read the e-mails the correspondence between them for all four of the tours. he felt like he was actually the mouth piece for him. he felt like he was becoming him. watching this movie they did such a great job. the adaptation of this film. clint eastwood as a director he did another amazing job. >> i think he had an easier job in dallas meijer's club matthew

mcconaughey, lost every pound he had he bulked up and gained 40 pounds. >> he said when he spoke to clint eastwood he told him i am going to gain weight for this movie i think i should don't you think? he said yeah, if you want to. he said do whatever you want. he said clint has an interesting way he directs. he turns the camera on and starts rolling and doesn't even say go. it just catches you in your most natural moments. i think you see that in this movie. >> that's what kind of struck me in the whole thing. j>> image the life of a sniper. i am going to tell you how the movie opens. i am not going to give it away. the movie opens with bradley cooper playing chris kyle. he's looking through his scope he has to make a decision; a woman in a burke kau you don't get the answer right away. that's how it starts and he's

being told your call. he's got to make a decision is what the woman he's passing the kid something that is going to be used to kill american troops. that to me is everything you would think hollywood would want real life, drama, decision making. you are on the edge of your seat. >> this movie is incredibly suspenseful but so relatable. you all of a sudden connect with the american troops. you walk out and say i am so proud to be an american. i now get why they do what they do. when that movie ended you could hear a pin drop. >> congratulations. >> my final thoughts sent by today's question of the day right after the break.
