with iran following israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu address the to congress. there is legislation fast tracked to the senate floor. the bill aims to give congress oversight over any potential agreement. over statements in the statement of the boston bombing trial are expected hours from now. prosecutors will show graphic images of the attack. it killed three people and injured 250 others. the charges carry the possibility of the death penalty. i'm jackie ibanez. "hannity" starts now. welcome to han it. benjamin netanyahu spoke before a joint session of congress earlier today and laid out the reasons why the united states should not be negotiating with

the rogue regime in tehran. in a moment the great one will be here with reaction. first, in case you were not able to watch netanyahu's address, here are some of the highlights. >> america and israel, we share a common destiny. the destiny of promised lands that cherish freedom and offer hope. millions of israelis were protected from thousands of hamas rockets because this capital dome helped build our iron dome. iran's regime is as radical as ever. its cries of death to america, the same america that it calls the great satan. iran will become even more aggressive and sponsor even more terrorism when its economy is unshackled, and it's been given a clear path to the bomb.

in this deadly game of thrones, there's no place for america or for israel no peace for christians, jews, or muslims who don't share the islamist medieval creed no rights for women, no freedom for anyone. if iran wants to be treated like a normal country let it act like a normal country. the difficult task is usually the one less traveled. but it will make all the difference for the future of my country the security of the middle east and the peace of the world, the peace we all desire. but i can guarantee you this. the days when the jewish people remain passive, in the face of genocidal enemies, those days are over. [ cheers and applause ] >> joining me, radio talk show host, the great one, mark levin.

mark i watched this speech. what a comparison. here's prime minister netanyahu with moral clarity and depth, confidence in a cause, understanding of evil in our time, and i could not help but compare to our own president, small, petty weak, frankly, ignorant of evil in our time. i just want to get your initial thoughts and observations. >> i went to this speech. i watched it in person, sean. i know the media's reporting that all the democrats are upset with netanyahu and were boycotting. let me tell you something, that is a lie. everybody stood on their feet standing ovation after standing ovation after standing ovation. that includes nancy pelosi and steny hoyer, that included a number of members of the black caucus. i was watching very, very carefully. and then after he speaks, we get one, two six ten democrats trashing him saying how it undermines obama. we get obama who pretends he didn't watch the speech.

this was a historic speech. some people have compared him to churchill. i will compare him to reagan. you saw our next reagan. obama, rice powers kerry, used their tactics to say we support israel but trash israel's leader. that's their commander in chief. that's their prime minister. who is trying to protect his country from all the islamic terrorism that surrounds it. so yes he spoke not just to the american people, not just to congress, to the entire world. it was a magnificent speech. >> he said yesterday i have a moral obligation to speak up in the face of these dangers while there's still time to avert them. i use the simple analogy mark one plus one equals two, radicals in iran, stated desire for modern-day holocaust, coupled with mass destruction equals the potential of that holocaust. the consequences of which could be catastrophic. what part of this does the

president not understand? because they say oh, we can't deny the iranians from getting nuclear weapons. what is he missing? just like with radical islam. >> well, if he says we can't deny the iranians from getting nuclear weapons, that's the problem isn't it. past presidents have worked with the russians and any other government to try and prevent these third world actors, in this case terrorists, from getting nuclear weapons. the problem is, our foreign policy is such a shambles, there's nobody to work with. now, obama knows what iran's capable of. you know why, sean? i went back and read the world threat assessment of the intelligence community last year that his government put out. his government said, tehran has made technical progress in a number of areas, including uranium enrichment nuclear reactors ballistic missiles, from which it could draw if it decided to build missile deliverable nuclear weapons. worse, he said, we judge iran

would choose a ballistic missile as its preferred method of delivering nuclear weapons iran's ballistic missiles are inherently capable of delivering weapons of mass destruction, and iran already has the largest inventory of ballistic missiles in the middle east. and finally, it goes on to say, they have the means and motivation to develop longer range missiles, including an intercontinental ballistic missile, icbm, that hits europe, that hits the united states. this is no joke. i'm scared to death with this president in office. >> all right. let me ask you about the history. there are campaign operatives, obama campaign operatives right now, there is elections in israel on the 17th, and right now, they are working actively to embarrass to humiliate and defeat netanyahu, who i would argue is the churchill/reagan of our time. but i want to put up as we talk here, the history. and have you comment on it. it goes back to 2009 when the

president was in cairo, and he was critical of israel for their new settlements. and then it goes to 2009 at the u.n., obama critical of israel for the new settlement construction. and then it goes to an interview in march of 2010 hillary calls for actions about netanyahu quote, insulting. obama in 2011, obama says he wants israel to return to the '67 borders something we said we would never do to them. john kerry said in 2014 hot mike, israel's operation a hell of a pin point operation. and we've got the french president sarkozy's comments, hot mike obama's comments after that. now we've got the president now in one sense he helped netanyahu make this a much bigger speech than it ever would be. why is there hostility towards israel, and yet the president cannot even say the words radical islam? >> because netanyahu is a

warrior, he's a combat veteran he is a leader who takes his commander in chief responsibilities seriously and he knows if he and his country make a mistake, it's over. barack obama is a community activist. he's a rabble-rouser, and appeaser. that's the difference. so what obama wants is a like-minded leftist in israel, and they're there, to work with, to accommodate his agenda. now, i would be very careful about his agenda if i were the leftist in israel since there's been more genocide, more rape, more enslavement under this president than any president in modern history. you know, i think back to reagan. reagan was the liberator. he liberated hundreds of millions of people under the soviet union. this president is the imprisonment president. society after society is collapsing, and he's making nice with iran, which is an islam terrorist regime. no question about it. >> all right. now the more important question is going forward.

my hope is that the prime minister's speech could alter the trajectory of these talks. but we keep reading reports that in the years, that in fact the iranians would in fact would be able to enrich uraniumcentrifuges would continue to spin, they hit europe and the united states and israel, and create havoc all over the middle east. so what happens from here? how do we stop this? you're a constitutional attorney and everything else, what can congress do to stop this deal, if anything? >> the senate must demand that whatever deal comes out of this must go to the senate, be treated as a treaty, and require the two-thirds vote. obama can't get two-thirds vote for one of his appeasement deals. i saw that today when i watched the members of congress standing steadfastly, not with obama, and that includes democrats, but with netanyahu.

so the fact of the matter is he's going to try to evade congress again the senate in particular, and they better prepare to do something effective once and for all to try to save our republic save our constitution, and save their own damn reputations in congress. and they better be thinking about it right now. >> yeah. well, they didn't do a very good job of keeping their promise, mark, did they, as it relates to the department of homeland security and defunding obama's executive orders on immigration. very timid on that today. unbelievable. >> as a matter of fact, they voted today to give congress' imprimator, the power of the purse, the naturalization immigration section of the constitution. we have a lawless imperial president and we have a weak congress, a timid congress. and this doing enormous damage to this country. >> the great one, mark levin, on

radio stations all across the country. thank you very much. appreciate your time. with more reaction, fox news strategic analyst lieutenant colonel ralph peters. the prime minister referred to a moment just last week, we're in the middle of these negotiations with the iranians. you have the iran navy doing drills in the straits of hormuth, and what are they firing at -- a u.s. carrier. we've got the video of them going after an american ship in the midst of these negotiations. what part of this that you can't trust them, based on their history which i will go through in the next p the program, does the administration not seem to understand? >> obama is incapable of learning. we have to recognize that. six years into his term he still thinks he can make friends with iran. it is stunning. and you know, for americans the most important point that benjamin netanyahu made today is

that in the middle east today, dealing with iran and an islamic state, my enemy of my enemy is my enany. obama can't figure that out. i am convinced, sean, absolutely convinced that obama, and kerry and company have accepted that iran will get a bomb. they just don't want it to happen on obama's watch. they want a decent interval of denial. and meanwhile as you heard our president's pathetic spiteful rebuttal, petty -- >> just petty. >> -- yeah, obama is a spiteful failure as president. and we've just got to get through the next two years. but israel means business. netanyahu, unlike president obama, means what he says. and the key thing for me was actually yesterday at apac he laid out carefully several examples of instances where the united states wanted israel not to do something, but israel did

it and israel was right. he is setting the groundwork for a desperate military strike if necessary against iran's nukes. and meanwhile, obama is so desperate so desperate for this deal for his legacy, that he is willing to give israel up. let's face it if israel disappeared from the face of the earth tomorrow obama would not shed a tear. >> it's phenomenal that bb did this in the midst of a political campaign, but felt such a need before this ever would come to fruition. do you think this alters this deal? in other words, do enough people wake up and say no, do not make a deal with the iranians, no they cannot be trusted? they're anti-american, they're anti-semitic, they're radical islamist, they believe in this caliphate and that giving them this bomb will result in the potential of a modern day holocaust, will this be stopped?

we have 100 million people go back to the last century you look at communism stalin fascism, nazism hitler, the killing fields, pol pot, 100 million souls, thereabouts, that died in the last century. maybe some people think evil doesn't exist in this century, but i think isis would contradict that. this would be a formula for a potential modern-day holocaust. can it be averted? >> it will not be averted by president obama. it simply will not be. >> how do you work around him? how do you circumvent him? >> you can't. that's the doggone thing. israeli military strikes could harm iran's nuclear program. and iran would respond by attacking gulf oil facilities. we'd be in it anyway. but president obama, again he refuses to learn anything. he vilifies israel. he's got the left wing chicago

view of israel as an imperial aggressor. the united states as inherently guilty, and he idealizes foreign actors. today when he was being so petty and spiteful and angry about netanyahu's speech, wouldn't it have been great to see that kind of flare and anger from obama about vladimir putin's aggression and the beheadings? but he directs it toward bb benjamin netanyahu. i'm ashamed and embarrassed of this president. and i am on israel's side. i think most americans are. the one thing netanyahu did accomplish today with that masterful, forceful direct speech, he made it almost impossible for senate democrats, for most of them, to vote for a bad deal. and obama and kerry are about to deliver a very very very bad

deal for israel, and for the united states of america, and for freedom and the world. >> i am equally embarrassed. by the way, the president doesn't speak for me and i stand with israel on this. i have the same moral clarity as the prime minister. colonel, good to see you. thanks for being with us. >> thank you sean. tonight on "hannity" -- >> on the core issue, which is how do we prevent iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon the prime minister didn't offer any viable alternatives. >> we're going to have a history lesson about iran's hatred toward the u.s. and israel and president obama's reaction to nnt netanyahu's speech which he said he didn't watch. hillary clinton has a huge problem, a lot of explaining to do. it's been revealed she used a personal, private e-mail address for all of her correspondence during her tenure as secretary of state. it's so bad liberals of having a

hard time defending her. there's nothing more romantic than a spontaneous moment. so why pause to take a pill? d why stop what you're doing to find a bathroom? with cialis for daily use, you don't have to plan around either. it's the only daily tablet approved to treat erectile dysfunction so you can be ready anytime the moment is right. plus cialis treats the frustrating urinary symptoms of bph, like needing to go frequently, day or night. tell your doctor about all your medical conditions and medicines, and ask if your heart is healthy enough for sex. do not take cialis if you take nitrates for chest pain as it may cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure. do not drink alcohol in excess. side effects may include headache, upset stomach, delayed backache or muscle ache. to avoid long-term injury, get medical help right away for an erection lasting more than four hours. if you have any sudden decrease or loss in hearing or vision or any symptoms of an allergic reaction stop taking cialis and get medical help right away. why pause the moment? ask your doctor about cialis for daily use. for a free 30-tablet trial go to cialis.com

during his address earlier today, israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu said that president obama's proposed deal with iran would only literally whet the regime's appetite for destruction, once the deal expires in a decade. our commander in chief reportedly he didn't want his speech but the president had this to say earlier. >> on the core issue which is how do we prevent iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, which would make it far more dangerous and would give it scope for even greater action in the region, the prime minister didn't offer any viable alternatives. >> i beg to differ, mr. president. now, keep in mind, the president

has admitted in recent weeks there's less than a 50/50 chance that iran doesn't agree to the deal. and then earlier today iran's foreign minister confirmed that by calling the administration's deal, quote, unacceptable." you know the thing that is amazing i watched the president there, dan and i see him angry. and here's the other thing. the president blew what otherwise might have been an important speech. >> right. >> into a worldwide important speech. >> yeah. >> he actually made this far more significant. >> he raised the stakes. i was at netanyahu's two previous addresses to congress. i was there today, and in 2011, and in the 1990s during his first term of prime minister. i was there in every case. but the whole world wasn't

watching. today the whole world was watching, and that's because the president raised the stakes. it was an important speech. but the stakes wouldn't have been so high. >> the prime minister may have actually altered the trajectory of where this deal was going. and i hope so. because it was a bad deal by every account. ambassador, let me bring you in here. while i do this i want to put up some things on the screen ambassador gold, and first is the montage of the iranians burning the israeli and the american flag. of course, we know the 79 hostage crisis. we have the supreme leader ayatollah khomeini and calls israel a cancer that has to be uprooted. he said israel is a rabid dog. another phrase that he used. he said the israelis are not humans. we also have a quote from adolph jr. ahmadinejad calling for a world without the u.s. without israel. we also have, let's see here, former president ahmadinejad

calling for the end of america, and israel. the zionist regime has reached a dead-end thanks to god, our wish will soon be realized the germ of corruption will be wiped off. he said thanks to god, the countdown to the decline of america's demonic power has begun, death to america, death to america death to america. that was ahmadinejad. so this is the history, and last week they are shooting at markups of american ships. why would we even be negotiating with people like this? >> well, that's a fundamental question. but i'm going to ask something else. you know the prime minister mentioned that in the planned agreement, there's something called a sunset clause. remember iran still has hostile intentions toward israel towards the united states. now according to sunset clause, let's say it's ten years whatever restrictions you put on the iranian enrichment program they run out after ten years. now, if we look at this deal

that's being cooked and we see that it doesn't restrict the development of ballistic missiles, so they can manufacture 100, 500, 1,000 ballistic missiles, they could manufacture intercontinental missiles that could hit new york, los angeles, anyplace in the united states. and then after ten years, it runs out, they will manufacture enriched uranium. they'll put it into those missiles and you will have a new soviet union, only it will be under the ayatollah. far more dangerous, far scarier and putting future generations at risk. >> it seems that this is 1938 munich britain and france, capitulating a hitler to me. >> what the president has said, and he said it today, that no deal is better than a bad deal. i actually agree with him. all netanyahu had to do today was to prove that this was a bad deal. and he did for the reasons that

dory just laid out. that the breakout period that the president seems to be negotiating for is one year one year between when iran decides to enact a path to its nuclear capability. do you think inspectors can keep up with a regime -- >> other regimes have been able to develop -- >> dan the union yans admitted in these negotiations, they never disclosed the facility and kerry acknowledged that. ambassador, i want to ask you this. there was an israeli national news article that came out that the president will cut intelligence cooperation in response to the prime minister's speech. is that true? >> i don't believe it. i know that the white house denied it. you know with all the noise we have, and the u.s.'s relationship with presidents, u.s. and israel are strategic allies. we have forces out there that want to destroy us. and we work very closely together. i would be very surprised if it

went to the point of cutting off. because we also help the united states as well as the united states helping us. >> i know the prime minister is very gracious. i'm not so confident that -- i would argue that the relations have never been worse. i know you're in israel right now, ambassador, and on march 10th, and i do this occasionally, i will host a show on tel aviv radio, 102 fm, and i'm looking forward, i do this occasionally i get to host shows, and my only admonition is on march 17th, there are important elections. my message to the people of israel is very clear. that the prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, represents churchill, and he understands the nature of evil in our time. and i hope they do the right thing and reelect him prime minister. i know you have a very different system than we have in america, parliamentary system, and coalition governments. but it would be a real loss on the world stage if he did not win that election. we need him now more than ever.

i'll see everybody on march 10th on the radio. thank you. >> thank you. >> coming up next tonight here on "hannity" -- >> i think it is highly unusual, there are lots of briefings that you have when you certainly go into the white house about preserving any e-mail that you have. >> wow. even those on the left are having a very hard time defending hillary clinton after it's now revealed she used a personal e-mail address for official government correspondence while at the state department. now, guess what, you can't do that. that's not allowed. it may be illegal. up next ron fornier and ron williams will weigh in. later tonight, senator rand paul will weigh in on netanyahu's speech. how would heeeeee mouths are watering, and stomachs are growling. or is that just me? it's lobsterfest... ...red lobster's largest variety of lobster dishes all year. double up with dueling lobster tails. or make lobster lover's dream a delicious reality. but hurry this won't last long.

huh, fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. everybody knows that. well, did you know words really can hurt you? what...? jesse don't go! jesse...no! i'm sorry daisy, but i'm a loner. and a loner gotta be alone. heee yawww! fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more. jesse? you can call me shallow... but, i have a wandering eye. i mean, come on. national gives me the control to choose any car in the aisle i want. i could choose you... or i could choose her if i like her more. and i do.

oh, the silent treatment. real mature. so you wanna get out of here? go national. go like a pro. back to "hannity." hillary clinton is in hot water tonight after a bombshell. "new york times" report revealed she exclusively used her personal e-mail account to conduct official business while

serving as secretary of state. now potential serious violation of federal law. even those on the left cannot defend hillary clinton's misconduct here. watch this. >> i think it is obviously highly unusual. there are lots of briefings that you have when you certainly go into the white house about preserving any e-mail that you have. making sure that it's part of your official account. i think it's something that they're going to have to explain in good measure today. >> here now to discuss the ramifications of what is the latest clinton scandal from the national journal ron foreignee with us. fox news contributor murdock. and political analyst juan williams. juan, this is illegal. i never thought i would say this. as robert gibbs points out. rightly so. everyone's briefed on the rules here. and it goes deeper. we have clinton aides doing the same thing, including huma and

philippe reins involved in this. 50000 pages we're talking about. she had to know the rules here, correct? >> yeah she had to. look, you know, we don't know how deep it goes, and that's the problem. we have a problem with transparency. those are our e-mails, not her e-mails. we have a problem with national security. she was the secretary of state dealing with the -- you have to assume there had to be confidential and life and death information she was dealing with. it would be easy for foreign countries to get their hands on it. there's no excuse here. they're trying to explain it away. they can't. they've got to turn over all her e-mails. >> i agree. >> just like they should cough up all the foreign money that the foundation took. and be clean about all this. >> you know there's a lot of issues, we have the foreign donations as ron points out. you have this issue now that is in the forefront. on top of that, we learned last

week in benghazi, they knew within minutes that this was a terror attack. that has been revealed. and way on the outside, you've got bill's relationship with jeffrey epstein which i think could become a bigger issue. so my question to you is, what do republicans do with this at this point? this may be an instance of breaking the law. >> you're right. it's also interesting the timing on this. this secret -- i should say secret now public private e-mail account of hers, she opened on the very first day when the u.s. senate began conducting confirmation hearings on her. very interesting timing. what is also interesting about this to me, the -- it's sort of the lois lerner missing e-mail situation, so you can have all kinds of congressional investigations going on for months on this matter. what's interesting about this also is you're hearing about

these scandals, and the foreign money that the clinton foundation took while she was secretary of state. while at the same time she's invisible. you're not hearing about her issues her tax plan or plan for education or what she would do to reset with russia, but her silence in terms of policy and scandal out in public. >> juan i'm always interested in how you're going to defend this. >> i don't think i have to defend it. i think it's wrong. i don't think there's any question about that. i'm sorry? >> foreign money you have a problem with? >> the foundation? i have terrible trouble. in fact, i've said that to you. i don't think that's good. i think that's basically influence peddling, especially foreign governments who can get their hooks into somebody who will be president of the united states one day. the other side of this story is apparently previous secretary of states of state were known to do this, even colin powell during the bush administration. now you have a situation where hillary clinton once she was

told about it her aides say she's complied with the law. she's turned over hundreds of thousands of these e-mails. but to me it's disappointing she didn't hang with the law. >> colin powell operated under a different set of regulations at a different time when e-mail wasn't used as much. >> he did. >> juan, as you know the clintons are supposed to be better, they promise to set a higher standard. there's no excuse. >> i think every secretary of state should be held to a high standard. i don't think there's any question that she believes she's operating in the best spirit by giving them all now. >> she hasn't given them all. we can't let her get off the hook. she's only given us the ones she wants to give us. >> all right. >> foreign donations, benghazi they knew, and of course bill and jeffrey epstein. when we come back kentucky senator rand paul was at the prime minister's speech and addressed the congress earlier today. he'll take us inside the room when we return. and later tonight -- >> the federal government has no

role in the creation of standards directly or indirectly. the federal government has no role in the creation of curriculum and content. the federal government should have no access to student i.d. or student information. >> part of my extended q&a with former governor jeb bush at cpac. we'll check when eating healthy and drinking water just isn't enough to ease my constipation i trust dulcolax tablets. i take dulcolax for dependable overnight relief and in the morning i am back to myself dulcolax, designed for dependable relief your eyes really are unique. in fact, they depend on a unique set of nutrients. that's why there's ocuvite to help protect your eye health. as you age your eyes can lose vital nutrients. ocuvite helps replenish key eye nutrients. ocuvite is a vitamin made just for your eyes from the eye care experts at bausch + lomb. ocuvite has a unique formula that's just not found in any leading multivitamin. your eyes are unique

welcome back to "hannity." my next guest won last week's straw poll at last week's cpac. senator rand paul good to see you. what is that, three years and running. there's only been one other person who's won three years and running. do you know who that is? >> it could have been who i met when i was 13 years old, ronald reagan. >> congratulations, first of all. you were in the chamber today for benjamin netanyahu's speech. i want to get your reactions. >> i thought he did a good job

of framing the issue. and broader context than just nuclear enrichment. he talked about state sponsorship of terrorism throughout the middle east. he talked about their conventional weaponry, intercontinental ballistic missiles, as well as the nuclear threat. and i guess he made a good point that any kind of a agreement that has them saying we're giving up on terrorism, we're giving up on global or regional dominance, really is at a good bargain, or is it a good deal. i thought the other point that he made that was good is not just any old deal or no deal that maybe we could actually have a better deal and then he wasn't against negotiation. and i like that he concluded by saying that his goal is peace. and i think sometimes in all of the tough talk, we forget that israel wants peace the united states wants peace. and that negotiations can come to an outcome, but they shouldn't come to a bad deal. >> but the reality is this is a bad deal if in the out years,

the sunset years of this deal, that the iranians get to enrich uranium thecentre fujs are up and ready, with world approval. this is a bad deal for a rogue regime and state sponsor of terror, correct? >> i signed on to a bill today that senator corker's putting forward, and this bill we think will give if there is a backbone in the administration it should give them backbone and give them strength to negotiate from a position of strength. this bill would say, and very explicitly say, that any deal has to be voted on by congress. that should let the administration know that we're not going to take any old deal. it should give them resolve. and hopefully, if the deal's not permanent and iran's backing away saying it's already too much, the administration will realize from their perspective that we're not voting for a bad deal. it's going to have to be a good deal or no deal. >> this president has acted

lawlessly before. he's not recognized the separation of powers checks and balances before. and he has gone rogue. so he's trying to apparently do this deal and feels no need to go to the senate. what is your answer and reaction to that, senator? >> well, we're going to pass legislation, this is going to be introduced in the next couple days, it may have been introduced today by senator corker -- >> do you need -- >> i think he could get 60 votes on this. this doesn't say we're against a deal, it just says we have to vote up or down on whether we like the deal. we actually have to see the deal. what it will do is put forward to the negotiators, and let them know that it's going to have to be passed by congress so it better be a good deal or you better not sign it. >> what about the house today giving in on the funding of the, quote, clean bill on dhs. i thought the fix might be in. unfortunately it turned out that i was right.

and that is that the president's unconstitutional executive order on immigration, which alters the law ignores it, apparently will now go through. why did the republicans cave on that? >> i'm like you i voted -- i did actually vote against it. i voted against all these collections when they throw all spending in one bill. i think that's how we got to an $18 trillion debt. i also think it's very important that the executive branch not be allowed to legislate. mon es cue said that would be a form of tyranny when the president begins to legislate. it's something that's so important that goes to the core of the cons stug al republic that i stay firm and not vote for anything that allows these executive orders to go through. because i think it's lawless and unconstitutional. >> senator, congratulations on your winning at cpac. i will say this i think you had the most entertaining crowd at your party at the bar that night where i got to interview you. it was -- and then you took the

mic and started interviewing me which made it more fun. >> wait until you see that one. we're going to have that one broadcast pretty soon. >> i'm not sure that's going to make the light of day. but if it does i'm fine with everything i said. good to see you. >> thank you. coming up next tonight on "hannity." >> the great country needs to enforce borders for national security purposes, public health purposes and the rule of law. first and foremost, we have to do that. >> my q&a with former governor jeb bush at cpac, did he win them over with his answers. we'll check in with eric erickson asasasasasas meet the world's newest energy superpower. surprised? in fact, america is now the world's number one natural gas producer... and we could soon become number one in oil. because hydraulic fracturing technology is safely recovering lots more

welcome back to "hannity." atlanta week at cpac i interviewed several potentials 2016 republican presidential candidates, including one of the front-runners, and that's jeb bush. the former florida governor's views on immigration are not popular with conservatives. i asked him about that and other topics on the main stage. >> the great country needs to enforce borders for national security purposes public health purposes, and the rule of law. first and foremost, we have to do that. secondly, we need a narrow family petitioning so that it's the same as every other country spouse and minor children. not this broad definition of

spouse, minor children, adult sub lynx and adult parents that crowds out what we need, which are economic driven immigrants. those that want to come here to work, to invest in their dreams in this country, to create opportunities for all of us. >> so, to the former governor, did he meet conservative expectations. here with reaction editor in chief eric erickson, and andrea. and good to see you guys. >> good to see you. >> i had 20 minutes on the clock. i spent like 27 minutes with him. but i spent the first nine minutes on the immigration issue with the governor. you also i read, met with the governor. how do you think -- how did you think it went over with the

>> he was. and i don't think he wooed the crowd over or got them to his side. and i think he began a conversation with them to get them to his side i think his rollout has been more successful than either mccain or romney in 2012 but he didn't close a deal with anybody. >> by the way i am over six feet tall. he's way taller. people say how tall are you? he must be 64. >> he display a role when we pick our president. >> you don't want to be president. >> nochlt i don't. what did you think? how you felt it went? . >> i agree with eric he deserves major credit for showing up and going into a

fairly unfriendly audience you were describing it as boos at times, and so i do think he deserves credit for that. and that eric through the rollout. i watched what people do, not what they say. and i think in both cases jeb bush has taken unfriendly positions and really questionable. soy think i can watch the tape saying i'm for securing the border. and you look at -- >> those are the two issues aren't they? common core? >> is there any republican that doesn't want to secure the border? i didn't hear a lot from them, sean, that would make me get enthusiastic about jeb bush. it's not that he can't overcome it. he's tweaking his language to appease the crowd

i think that is why conservatives are distrustful. his biggest problem isn't his position, i think it's his last name. i do. i joke around -- >> but that is not fair. >> it's not fair but it's a reality. when foreign policy under the bush foreign doctrine and policy, bush doctrine they have filed and democracy promotion there is a giant part of the conservative going to the party. i'm one othem. >> one last question. i spoke at i was up until 3:30 in the morning. i studied his record as governor that is conservative

he seems to sync that time. and across the board, a conservative record but that has come into question. what would you advise him? >> there is no question. i'm one of those who they were saying gosh, i wish this guy was president and not his brother. he had a white paper on welfare reform. he lost his race because of it. it became mainstream. and his brother to have to remind people of the record from tax kudz because you're right. it is his post-election post-election record.
