"hannity" starts right here, right now. welcome to "hannity." big news in the 2016 race for the white house 2012 republican nominee mitt romney saying a new face in the gop will probably have a better chance at defeating the democrats. he announced he will not be running for the presidency. we're in washington with the very latest. not really expected today karl. >> from the time romney said he was going to take a serious look at running for a third time for the presidency, it took him three weeks to decide he wasn't going to do it and he told supporters to the in a
2:02 am
conference call. >> it's critical that america elect a conservative leader to become our next president. you know that i have wanted to be that president, but i do not want to make it more difficult for someone else to emerge who may have a better chance at becoming that president. >> romney indicated fund raising wouldn't have been a problem but a lot of former dorners going with other candidates gave him sort of a different message. he got lots of encouraging phone calls to his new house in salt lake city, but dit didn't carry over. remaining contenders began swiping at romney issued statements of farewell. jeb bush posted on facebook and twitter, "mitt is a patriot and i join many in hoping his days of serving our nation and our party are not over." romney met with bush last week in utah. he meets with chris christie tonight for dinner. he told supporters it's time for somebody new. listen to this. >> i believe that one of our
2:03 am
next generation of republican leaders, one who may not be as well known as i am today one who is not yet taken their message across the country, one who is just getting started, may well emerge as being better able to defeat the democrat nominee. >> to a lot of folks that amounted to a shot at former florida governor jeb bush who was governor more than a decade ago. the iowa caucuses are scheduled tentatively for one year and nine days from now. romney will not be in it but there are somewhere in the neighborhood of two dozen potential candidates who are thinking about it and working toward it. romney could end up in iowa or new hampshire next year at caucus and primary time. but if he does, it will be to endorse somebody else, sean. >> carl, it's interesting those remarks interpreted that may not be as well known as i am the next generation to be a shot against jeb. i didn't hear it that way. it doesn't really need to be. it could be a potential endorsement of marco rubio. it could be a nod to scott walker who romney called this
2:04 am
afternoon. but the reason there is a lot of speculation that there's some animosity toward jeb bush and some extent towards chris christie is during this three-week period where romney was discussing it romney aides pointed out time and time again that jeb bush was slow to endorse mitt romney in the 2012 race and that chris christie was vetted by the romney campaign as a possible vice presidential nominee and passed over and suggested maybe christie has a lot of baggage. there are new faces. rand paul could qualify as a new face but can't imagine romney would be affectionate toward his brand of libertarian policy. romney is saying it's somebody else's time. what he really means is it's not about him it's about making sure a republican is nominate who had can beat hillary clinton and the democrats. >> campaign carl, i know one person who will be in iowa and that's you. >> over and over and over. >> over and over. we'll get more into that later in the program. romney's remarks were first published by conservative radio
2:05 am
talk show host hue hewitt. so you broke this story earlier today before that call took place. did you interpret -- how do you interpret those remarks that he talked about a new generation, people maybe not as well known as i am better qualified to defeat a democratic candidate. was that a shot at jeb or just a genre mark? >> well, sean i heard the same thing that carl heard from people that i called all day talking to romney people. some are pretty bruised by the last three weeks. the governor i think actually had no choice but to go through this process. i was out on the campaign trail with him in november and october with doug doocy. and i saw a parade of people coming up to him urging him to run again. i think for the benefit of all his supporters at least go through the process. but that three-week process had a lot of sharp elbows in it as you know. there are some hurt feelings and bruised feelings. i don't know if governor romney has them. he's a pretty big man and a patriot as jeb bush said. but i do think a lot of his supporters are going to look long and hard at what he meant
2:06 am
by a new generation of leadership. >> certainly there had to be this appeal, hugh, and dh is that it had to be tempting foreign policy, how right he was about vladimir putin and radical islamist there had to be a feeling he's been vindicated and maybe there might have been buyers remorse here. >> there's buyers remorse everywhere. but like you sean, i've been talking to the presidential candidates on the radio show and they're saying the same things mitt romney was saying throughout the 2012 campaign. they're basically validating it. i think what happened today is he said a lot of people can make the same argument tonight. i don't want to give away the generational card. hillary's getting older by the day, the message of the democratic party is getting older, it's becoming more obvious that the failures under this president are profound and significantly dangerous. and mitt romney as i said before he's a patriot. he wants to make sure that that critique does not get filtered
2:07 am
through any other lens. >> i have no doubt he'll have a big impact on the election. as you surveyed the landscape, you've got former governor perry and maybe jindal and walker and kasich former senator rick santorum rubio, cruz rand paul. as you look at this field right now former governor bush, do you see anybody as a front runner and anybody as a dark horse that you think is going to take off? >> well, like you i've been hearing scott walker all week long after the iowa freedom forum. and i think he had a tremendous night. then at the coke foundation in my neck of the woods marco rubio had a terrific weekend. so i think you've got really walker and rubio emerging right now at the front of the pack. but ted cruz has that formidable rhetorical ability. he's got a huge fund raising list. bobby jindal is everywhere and
2:08 am
always interesting. governor perry is rested, funny, relaxed. you see a lot of interesting people. i still believe in bare naked leprechaun. anything can happen. it's good for our business and good for republicans to be listening to their great candidates. i'll say one thing i read today said mitt romney was very impressed with rob portman and john kasich. one fella who has to be sitting back tonight and saying, you know, this helps me a lot is john kasich of ohio. because it really does open up a lane that wasn't there before for a governor like kasich in the sort of center-right. >> thank you so much. joining me now with reaction is special report anchor bret baier. pretty interesting announcement today. you follow the ins and outs of baseball here. what do your sources say? >> listen, this does open a of lanes for a lot of people,
2:09 am
namely as you've been talking about chris christie. obviously jeb bush. but also john kasich. i think hugh hit it there on the head. he's considering whether to get in or not. and, you know this may tip him towards getting in. i was interviewing governor scott walker from wisconsin today for this series of potential contender pieces we do on special report. it's going to air next week. in the middle of the interview he had to pause to take a phone call from mitt romney. and i left there and they talked for about ten minutes and -- >> they should have conferenced you in. >> i should have been in the call, right. >> exactly. >> but listen, he's a guy who could really capitalize on all of this. and he's specifically pointing to that line from mitt romney in that press release about pointing to new faces in the party. >> i think there is a very strong bench here. it's very interesting because the democrats seem to have already -- this is a coronation, at least up to now, elizabeth
2:10 am
warren won't get in, i don't think joe biden will take on hillary. so she seems to be walking right into the nomination, as of now. you've got all these governors, ex-governors, senators, former senators, you've got a really big field here. so it's going to be interesting to see who begins to emerge. and is there going to be a battle you think between establishment and tea party as the primary moves forward? >> yeah, i think so. governor walker, clearly governor kasich too, but maybe governor walker more can cross those lines better than most of the candidates. senator rubio obviously a candidate as well. but there will be a battle that develops well before we get to the iowa caucuses. the first debate's in august. we're going to see a lot of maneuvering and jockeying before then. >> what about jeb and christie? what end of the spectrum are they on? >> clearly they're on the more moderate establishment side.
2:11 am
i think this really throws a lifeline to chris christie because a lot of people were saying if mitt romney was in the race there really didn't seem to be a lot of oxygen there. so, you know, mitt romney meeting with chris christie for dinner. clearly there's some hope i think on the christie camp that some of those donors would free up for him. >> bret baier special report every weeknight 6:00 p.m. thank you so much. >> thanks, sean. new reports about a convicted sex offender's connections to former president bill clinton. reaction to the allegations from clinton's former adviser and could this impact hillary clinton's potential run? and later tonight "american sniper" chris kyle's brother is here to talk about the success of the movie and respond to the attacks from michael moore and other people on the left as we continue this edition of "hannity." how much money do you have in your pocket right now? i have $40 $21. could something that small make an impact on something as big as your retirement? i don't think so. well if you start putting that towards your retirement every week and let it grow over time, for twenty to thirty years that retirement

2:13 am
2:14 am
welcome back to "hannity." there's new speculation tonight surrounding former president bill clinton's connections to convicted sex offender jeffrey epstein after a new article titled "sex slave" claims bill clinton visited epstein's island referring to his private island. editor raised questions about clinton's relationship with epstein in a recent article where she stated "what exactly did these men see in this private jet private island owning weirdo." they didn't want to play scrabble. so what do you think? here to discuss this ongoing controversy, fox news contributor, former personal adviser to the clinton family, and of course the rock star host outnumbered and the five, andrea tantaro. >> good to see you. >> all these trips convicted pedophile, sex offender. why is bill clinton hanging out
2:15 am
with him? >> well, that's jeffrey epstein. there's no evidence bill clinton has done anything -- there isn't. there's no evidence he went to what you're calling -- >> i'm sure they never talked about sexual peccadillos, conversation never came up. this is the island where all this activity with underage girls took place with epstein. >> again there's no evidence bill clinton went to that island. there's no evidence he did anything untoward. it was not confirmed. there were other logs that showed he didn't go. >> one of the girls there saw him there. >> yeah. a 17-year-old girl says he was on the island. so we're supposed to believe that all of this nefarious sexual activity with underage girls is happening and bill's just what, who wants margaritas? come on. now, i know there's no evidence. so we have to keep saying that so that no one gets sued. >> but he was there and he hung out with them and he took multiple private jet trips with epstein.
2:16 am
at the island this is where all these activities took place. >> that's right. >> including underage girls and all the "massages" were taking place. >> and he's just there doing a botanical study. i don't know. this is different than i think the stories we heard before. i'm sure you remember the "vanity fair" piece on ron -- starts with an f, ends with k, not fork. that was also intimated -- listen, you're the one that opened with the word -- mr. hannity. >> i did. it was a "new york post." >> bill clinton criticize hillary clinton. but as you say there's no evidence -- >> you keep saying that. he was on the jet. he went to the island. he was there multiple trips. >> isn't clear he was on the island. isn't clear that anything involving bill clinton happened that was untoward -- a 17-year-old girl whose credibility has been questioned.
2:17 am
>> really? you're going to attack the woman. >> i'm not attacking her. >> that's attacking the woman. >> i think it's raising questions about her judgment. >> hillary has delayed the announcement from april to june. doesn't have much competition. you can say it. but in the back of their minds with his past sexual history paula jones and jennifer flowers and juanita, kathleen willie and all these other women. if a story were like this to break and a woman comes out, how devastating is it to hillary's campaign? >> a, it hasn't come out. b, the reason it's delayed -- >> it wouldn't be farfetched doug considering his history? >> there have been plenty of stories and hillary's the front runner for president and will arguably stay the front runner for the foreseeable future. >> hanging out with a convicted pedophile. >> this is different. it's not going to go away i think because it involves a member of the royal family. so the media's going to stay on this one, sean.
2:18 am
but this isn't like you '90s clinton scandal where he was a likable scoundrel. it's a private matter, what difference does it make? >> we don't have any evidence of anything. >> after monica lewinsky. >> what -- is going to say what difference does it make? >> the issue is to the american people none of the so-called scandals -- >> not when she tries to run on a platform to champion women. >> allegations emerge years ago about bill cosby. now it's hit a critical mass. it seems that the public's appetite has shifted and changed dramatically. monica lewinsky was a young girl too, doug. >> right. >> turns out one of the women paid a lot of money to be there for these perverts says that he's involved. how much political damage does that cause their campaign?
2:19 am
>> there are a lot of ifs? >> i gave you the one. how much damage would that cost? >> at this point given his history, hillary's the front runner, he's the most popular man in the country -- >> bill cosby was pretty popular too. >> he's an entertainer and there have been credible allegations of gross impropriety. >> the ones made against the clintons are never credible. >> we have seen multiple contemporaneous credible allegations that have hurt his credible. >> so he went to the island to drink margaritas. >> he was also studying botany, right? he was doing botanical studies for the clinton institute. >> government of laws, we give people the benefit of the doubt. there's no evidence here. >> he deserves the benefit of the doubt? >> look there is nothing that is surfaced yet. but i would say if it does
2:20 am
surface, sean -- >> it could trouble. >> it could be trouble because she is running as a woman on a platform. it's a little more salacious than the typical clinton scandal. also doug can't just say this is hillary's issue because they're running two for the price of one. >> i'm predicting this is going to be a bigger issue. >> sean, we've agreed on islamic terror. on this issue we disagree. >> i still love you. >> i love you too sean. >> well, not really love. coming up next tonight on "hannity". >> back home in texas a lot of his own personal opinions about what he was doing in iraq how he viewed iraqis, what some people described as his racist tendencies towards iraqis and muslims. >> the success of the movie "american sniper" has brought outrageous comments from those on the left including attacks on the character of chris kyle himself.

2:24 am
of the movie and what does it tell you about the american people? >> it's overwhelming. to see the support of the american people. and to know it's actually getting the message out there that chris wanted. you know it's not just about chris. it's about all of us. and i think that speaks volumes for people going to it time and time again to see it. >> do you feel it captured your brother well? do you think it was an accurate portrayal of who chris was? >> i think cooper did a really go ahead job. he put a lot of work into it. and, you know, really captured chris. and put it out there. you know, he put everything he had into it and i think it came out well. >> yeah. i got to ask you about some of the controversy surrounding this. but to remind people michael moore his first tweet, my uncle killed by sniper world war ii
2:25 am
we were taught sniepers were cowards. will shoot you in the back. sniepers aren't heroes. and invaders are worse. that's just one of a number of tweets. i find him ignorant but it did spark a big debate and controversy. what do you say back to michael moore about your brother who was a skilled sniper that saved american lives. >> you know, just because somebody was killed by a sniper, it doesn't make snipers cowards. snipers, they're saviors. everybody that's been over there and been in that situation was damn proud to have a sniper on overwatch. for them to say that they're cowards, that would be like peta calling michael moore a murderer for all the cheeseburgers he's eating. it's pretty cowardice. >> i've gotten to know your dad a little bit and the story of him sitting down with bradley
2:26 am
cooper saying if you dishonor my son i'm going to open up the gates of hell. i kind of see where your humor's from and also the courage where your brother came from. there are a lot of people that have now tried to smear your brother's name. play this idiot from nbc news. and the american people have responded. i'm going to ask you about the difference between those that would smear brave men and those responding to this movie. listen to this. >> it is a very compelling very thought provoking, very emotional movie. >> but. >> when you jukt oppose it emerged what kind of personality he was in his own words, very -- >> talking about the stories when he was back home in texas which may not have been true? >> a lot of stories when he was back home in texas, a lot of his own personal opinions about what he was doing in iraq, how he viewed iraqis, some described his racist tendencyies as he was going on some of these killing sprees in iraq on assignment.
2:27 am
>> is it hard -- your brother did four tours of duty. you have this loud-mouth, idiotic nbc liberal commentator who doesn't know your for a hole in the wall making allegations. is that hard for you to hear that? that would tick me off if it was my brother being talked about that way. >> it definitely ticks me off. it ticks all of us off. whether he was blood brother or not, everybody that served with him and everybody that knew chris, yeah, they know it's not true. so they can run their mouth. they're going to be cowards. they're not going to say it to anybody's face. they're going to hide behind a camera and do it online. so, i mean, they're not even worth, you know, getting all riled up about. >> so you haven't really paid much attention? in other words none of this has bothered you what the hollywood left thinks you don't care. go ahead. >> yeah, i mean i hear it all and i see it all.
2:28 am
but, you know, i mean, like everybody knows they're idiots. all of us that have been in that situation and all of us that knew chris and lived with chris, yeah, we know how he is. so we know the true story. and we know those people out there are just idiots. >> and then you've got this record breaking response. by the way your dad sent me this sweatshirt with your brother's name on it and everyone asks me about it when i'm wearing it. i want one. i want one. the american people responding this way that also says -- that sends another message i think is far more powerful because all of these other movies that are made are all duds. nobody wants to see them. and then this movie comes on the scene and $105 million in the first week and record breaking numbers every week since. how do you interpret that as
2:29 am
your brother ended up losing his life? >> i think it just goes right along with chris and who he was. because it puts the message out. it's not a war story. it's not a shoot em up blow em up movie. it's a story about a soldier in combat, whether it's on the battlefield or off it he's still in combat. so it tells that story and it shows what every soldier that has been in that situation what we have to go through in country and back home. it never stops. i think that's why it hit home for so many people and really opened their eyes. you know not just because it was chris but because they could put, you know, mothers and fathers could put their son in that situation and kind of see what their child went through over there. and then how they dealt with it when they came home. and it answered a lot of questions for them about why
2:30 am
they act the way they do when they do come home. >> all right jeff, good to talk to you. it's been great to know your dad and taya. great family. all the best to you. thanks for being with us. >> thank you sean. coming up next tonight here on "hannity". >> i think he's going to be a disciplined young man and stand there until after the game. he's going to do his father his first favor and stand there for another week or two. >> a big moral dilemma quandary for seahawks star quarterback richard sherman. should he miss the game if his girlfriend's giving birth? and later tonight. >> hi, i'm kim. each month millions of gigs of unused data are taken back by wireless companies. tragic. data you paid for that could be used to see my makeup, my back end, my outfits. >> some watching the super bowl for the ads, you're not going to be disappointed on sunday. but do any of those ads coming

welcome back to" hannity." seattle cornerback richard sherman could be facing quite the dilemma. the star player is expected the birth of his child at any moment. and that moment could very welcome on super bowl sunday. >> i'm focused on the game right now, you know. he's not supposed to come on sunday. obviously that changes some things. but i think he's going to be a disciplined young man and stay in there until after the game. he's going to do his father his first favor and stay in there for another week or two. >> now meanwhile sherman's girlfriend, ashly moss, told him he needs to play the game no matter what. >> if you see richard heading for the locker room right after it hits zero in the fourth

2:38 am
labor, right? >> yes, well i tried to and my wife made the cab turn around. >> see. >> my son was born on election day. >> i know. >> is that the wrong decision though? he's got to play the game. >> he played -- it would be different if he didn't play in the super bowl last year. he won the super bowl, he's still going to get the ring. he doesn't have any kids this is his one shot to watch his son come into the world. >> you can videotape that. >> i think he should be by his girlfriend's side. >> what about videotape? >> that's not the same. are you kidding me? i've watched a million births on video. i'm telling you, if i have a child one day, my husband better be next to me. i don't want to do it alone. i would be a nervous wreck. >> coach? >> i think completely wrong. number one let's understand the obligation and responsibility he has to his teammates as well. and i think being there at the birth does not make you a good father. i took the job at william & ma ri and my wife had to stay in ohio because she was eight and a half months pregnant. but what would make me a good
2:39 am
father is to be there for the next 21 years for the child to give him love, a solid home and help develop that child. i think anyone would say i'd rather he be there for 21 years than to be there at birth of the child. let's not forget the obligation to teammates as well. >> eric. >> i agree with coach. there's no way he's going to miss his game. the work he's put in to get to the super bowl. you never know when you're going to get back. i was in a situation playing for the atlanta falcons where our baby was due on the sunday of the game. my wife took it in her own hands and got induced to have the baby. >> thank god for modern medicine. >> but eric, do you remember hunter mayhan, the pga golfer? he was winning that tournament the pga tournament i think he was in canada. he left a million-dollar purse to be by his wife's side because he said i can play golf any time and other opportunities to win tournaments. >> i give him credit. >> no kidding. >> i remember talking to people of the falcons they told me
2:40 am
during the game if my wife would have called and said she was in labor, they wouldn't have told me until after the game. >> my niece, ainsley, that's what she does, she's a doctor. >> uh-huh. >> and she does birthing every day. things are different. my father's mother actually died as complications from his childbirth. >> wow. see -- >> medically we've advanced. i think lou holts is right. fatherhood is not defined by being there that second. the kid's not going to remember one way or the other. this could be a $30 million day, a great day, endorsements, new contract. this is a lot on the line for him and his family. >> but what about the fact, sean, what about the fact he played in the super bowl last year? this isn't his first time. >> he could be mvp this year. >> the team made it to the super bowl. they're going to be fine without him. >> if it was your husband you would say don't play? >> hey, sean? >> yes, coach. >> how about the obligation to your teammates? >> i can say this.
2:41 am
