"hannity" starts right here right now. tonight the obama administration continues to betray our fallen troops who died fighting in

iraq. they do nothing while isis continues to capture key cities that they won. here's how white house press secretary jorn ernest described the situation today. >> as with any military effort there will be days of progress and there are going to be periods of setback. again, that's what the president said back in october. i think over the course of the last four or five days we've seen all of this. >> would you say overall the strategy has been a success? >> overall, yes. are we going to light our hair on fire every time there is a setback? >> light our hair on fire? this is not the first time the administration has dismissed ramadi's importance. you may remember this. >> the city itself is -- it's not symbolic in any way. it's not been declared you know part of the cal aiphate on one hand but we want to get it back. the interest here is not brick

and mortar it's about defeating isil. as i said you know i would much rather that ramadi not fall but it won't be the end of a campaign should it fall. >> general dempsey later took back those comments. that's only after the mother of the first navy s.e.a.l. to die in iraq demanded an apology. joining me now are the mother of that fallen s.e.a.l. founder of the president of america's mighty warriors debbie lee is with us her son made the ultimate sacrifice and mike babin is with us also. first of all, i'm sorry about the loss of your son. first it was tikrit that got back in the right hands. fallujah mosul, ramadi where your son died. you watch these cities go and then we hear the press secretary, we can't light our hair on fire every time we have a setback. what is your reaction to that? >> first they were saying there

is no symbolic if it did fall. then they watched as the comments from general dempsey. now they're making up excuses. we have blood on that soil. my son's blood is on that soil. so many others have sacrificed greatly for that area. and it just shows that there's things we could be doing differently there. there's tactics that could be employed that we could make a difference over there. and now they're only emblazoned to go further and go into baghdad and take that area as well. >> miss lee, we played this last night. the president, when he pulled out, said oh everything's great. everything's going to be fine. and obviously his strategy is not working. george bush warned about this. let me remind everybody what he said in 2007 would happen if we pulled out too early. here was his prediction. >> beginning withdrawing before our commanders tell us we are ready would be dangerous. for iraq for the region, and for the united states.

it would mean surrendering the future of iraq to al qaeda. it would mean that we would be risking mass killings on a horrific scale. it would mean we allow the terrorists to establish a safe haven in iraq to replace the one they lost in afghanistan. it would mean increasing the probability that the american troops would have to return at some later date to confront an enemy that is even more dangerous. >> all of that has now come true. your son lost his life there. what do you want to say to the president that made this decision? in other words, do they regret pulling out too early? apparently not based on what josh ernest said. >> well that's one of the things that i talked about, and was very vocal about, when they pulled everybody out, that we needed to leave troops there to stabilize that area. they weren't ready yet to take that over by themselves. and just like president bush he said this would be the outcome. that's what's going to be

happening. mark wrote an amazing last letter home. and i was speaking at an event today and read that again. he said it will take longer but we will get iraq to stand on its own two feet. i went over in 2007 and i went back in 2010. i saw the difference our troops had made. i saw the successes. and because we didn't leave troops there to stabilize, now it's in the hands of isis and that's gut-wrenching to me. to know the sacrifices that have been made there. we need to see our commander in chief allow our men and women who are the best military in the world to go in there and do what they do well and stabilize that country, and it's unconscionable to me. we heard from president bush who was a real commander in chief, who loved his troops. and the man that is serving today, it's unbelievable. >> let me go to -- >> he doesn't allow our troops to do and give them rules of engagement to be successful over

there. >> lathe, you were there. you knew debbie lee's son. my question is all these questions about iraq to republican candidates knowing what you know now about the war in iraq would you have still pulled the troops out? i would like hillary and obama to answer that question. what's your reaction to the fall of the city that you fought to liberate? >> i was trying to serve alongside mark. he was a great s.e.a.l. teammate and friend. and he sacrificed his life. we had two other guys mike and ryan job, who sacrificed their lives and so many other soldiers and marines who fought bravely in those cities. we won that war. the level of violence was radically lowered. unfortunately, my big issue here is not about numbers of troops that would have been left behind it's about a failure of leadership. we have a clear case here of leaders who do not understand -- >> we won the war but sdnt secure the victory. is that true? >> that is true. >> if we would have left intelligence and training forces on the ground would that victory still be secured today?

>> under this leadership i actually don't think so. i think we have a president, and senior commanders like general dempsey who are not allowing our troops to actually go out and fight an evil enemy, as evil enmy as the u.s. military has ever faced. we absolutely could have prevented ramadi with just a couple of thousand troops on the ground and support from tanks -- >> now they have all our military equipment. >> we could have dealt them a strategic blow but instead we handed them a victory. >> thank you for your service. debbie lee, i'm sorry about the loss of your son. it's unbelievable the way these events have unfolded. thank you very much. >> just remember memorial day and the sacrifices that have been made for our country. >> yes, ma'am. american troops died fighting president obama could not have been more wrong when he said this back in 2011. >> we're leaving behind a sovereign, stable and self-reliant iraq with a

representative government that was elected by its people. we're building partnership between our nations. and we are ending a war, not with a final battle but with a final march toward home. >> here with reaction is colonel oliver north. colonel, you just heard from debbie leeth and lathe and his comments. they secured ramadi just like others secured mosul, and others secured fallujah. one by one they keep falling into the hands of isis. your reaction? >> the fall of ramadi is a particularly bad, unmitigated disaster that will result in a horrific blood bath that's happening right now. in this moment in the middle of the night, isis death squads are killing all the family members of any iraqi soldier or policeman. nearly all, by the way, of them are sunnis. there are not 25,000 refugees i'm told today there's nearly 40,000 refugees from ramadi and fallujah all down the euphrates

river valley without food water or protection. it is a genocide that is going to rival bill clinton's rawandan genocide. they're planning to retake ramadi and iranian equipped shiite militias. my source said isis is planning an attack on a shiite holy city to distract the iranian controlled militias from going to ramadi. if isis takes karbala, southwest of baghdad, they're going to open up a new group direct to baghdad. the obama statement that they're going to help the iraqi government help retake ramadi in the days ahead is a complete empty promise. the iraqi army and police turned and ran just like they did in tikrit and mosul last summer. >> why are we sending our brave and women --

>> let me just gn this. they're bragging about 36 air strikes in the last three weeks, and eight in the 12 hours during which ramadi was falling. get this during operation iraqi freedom, when i was on the air from ramadi we were running 800 to 1,000 air strikes a day. so what's got to be done. you need to arm the kurds and christian militia, which is being formed up north. number two put more u.s. intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance overhead and more strike aircraft to the region. number three, put u.s. advisers and their controllers on the ground with iraqi forces. number four support the deployment of egyptian saudi, jordanian and united emirates troops to anbar province all the way to ramadi. target and kill the isis leadership. you can't just capture an accountant and grab his wife. >> do you think they'll do that? you laid out a plan for victory. i don't see it happening. >> listen this administration god knows what's going on.

the fact is you don't -- >> do you want your son serving under this president right now, with what has happened? >> careful, you know better. >> colonel, thank you. appreciate it. >> bless you, brother. >> joining us with more reaction the number one "new york times" best selling book "things that matter." charles krauthammer. your take on the fall of ramadi? >> well you know people talk about the immediate circumstances, of course. but ramadi was lost when obama -- it was lost on january the 1st, 2012. when obama decided to pull out entirely. and you showed that clip where he said iraq is stable self-reliant and i think he was right. it was. and when you listen to general petraeus who won the war, at the end he said himself in an interview about a month ago with the "washington post," that we had secured iraq. it was still a fragile nation but it was intact. and it had a future.

and we had absence on the ground we didn't have to maintain 100,000 troops 200,000 troops. we just needed a residual force. by leaving, we gave up not just the residual force, we gave up our influence over the government. we were the dominant influence in iraq. and we gave up an unchallenged unparalleled intelligence network that we had in anbar. and precisely what we had, and what we threw away. i wrote a column that's actually in the book it's called who lost iraq. which i wrote in december of 2011. and it ends by saying the future generations will ask not just -- they're not going to ask who lost iraq they're going to ask why. >> charles, every republican is being asked the question you know what you would have done and now that -- knowing what we know now, in 2003 how would you have voted, et cetera.

isn't it a question for the democrats, knowing what you know now about ramadi and mosul, and fallujah and earlier tikrit would you have pulled out? when is that question going to be asked? >> i wouldn't even ask it as a hypothetical. this is not -- you know this is not obscure knowledge that we couldn't have known. i, and many others are arguing in december of 2011 that it was very clear that if we pulled out, the bad guys from the region would come in. you create a vacuum. what happened is iraq is now being disputed between shiite extremists jihadists, meaning iran on the one hand and on the other hand sunni jihadists. just yesterday the defense minister of iran of iran flew into baghdad. because they are now in charge. >> charles krauthammer, thank you. very sad. damning new report reveals hillary clinton used a second

making the most of their united flight. power, wi-fi and streaming entertainment. that's... seize the journey friendly. welcome back to hannity"hannity"." another scandal to report about hillary clinton. now according to the liberal "new york times," during her tenure of secretary of state, hillary used a second private e-mail address.

clinton allegedly circulated multiple e-mails from this man, longtime clinton political hack sidney blumenthal. with all these scandals popping up around the democratic presidential candidate, ed henry asked mrs. clinton, if she would finally take a question from the press. watch this. >> senator -- >> wait, wait. maybe when i finish talking to the people here. how is that? i might. i'll have to ponder it. i will put it on my list. for due consideration. >> a little testy. something might have clicked there. because a few minutes later hillary did address the new report about her correspondence with sid. watch this. >> i have many many old friends. and i always think that it's important when you get into politics to have friends you had before you went into politics

and to understand what's on their minds. and he's been a friend of mine for a long time. he sent me unsolicited e-mails which i passed on in some instances. and i see that that's just part of the give-and-take. >> here with reaction is the co-author of the brand-new book climate change the facts mark stein is with us. just a month ago clinton said she only used one e-mail address when she served as secretary of state. and by the way, it wasn't the one that she corresponded with sid with. and her lawyers denied the same thing, too. so apparently she has more than one e-mail address. >> the lawyer apparently gave her an incorrect answer to the united states congress on this matter. look you've got jeff foxworthy on the show tonight, sean. hillary is playing a brand-new game show. are you dumber than a bunch of rocks. because that's basically what

the position she's taking with the american electorate. she's engaging in essentially a sort of mining of an election campaign. she turned down ed henry because she apparently wants to take the people's questions. carefully vetted stooges. she has her colleague from the clinton foundation george stuff his pants with cash conduct a fraudulent interview with the author of the book about her. she's engaging in the equivalent of beyond say, miming lip syncing to the national anthem at obama's inaugural a couple of years ago. at some point the press and the american people have to get serious about treating her the way they do any other candidate. >> but she doesn't allow -- >> not in a banana republic. >> she doesn't allow them access and that's how she's able to navigate through these

waters. at some point, i would imagine she's going to have to answer it. she so far -- the strategy they've adopted is don't talk to the press, don't talk to anybody. we'll march in those people that are in our camp and say they're regular people. so far she's gotten away with it. why would they change? >> yeah. and it's working for her. when she does sit down and do the big interview, it will be with some favorable -- >> george stephanopoulos. >> he will ask tough questions like ooh, do you think republican men have a problem dealing with you as a strong woman? you know this is a joke and it is unbecoming. i would love elizabeth warren to run, she comes by her socialism honestly. just as they've had female prime ministers across the world now, from canada to new zealand, and

they've come by their socialism honestly. and what is at issue here is the corruption and entitlement. and at some point, we have a ridiculous situation, whether clinton foundation has no other partners -- if you give 1 million to the clinton foundation because you're worried, like chelsea clinton said about diarrhea in africa $60,000 of it goes to diarrhea in africa and $940,000 of it gets sluiced off en route to keep the big clinton machine running. she said $30 million in speeches. and this is a woman, she's not a sparkling performer, like you were in chicago when we were at some event a year or two back sean. she's not a sparkling performer like you. it's like putting a speech machine on stage. nobody's paying for the quality of their speeches. they're buying access and they're buying influence.

>> let's go to the exchange over releasing the e-mails. here's what she said today. >> i have said repeatedly i want those e-mails out. nobody has a bigger interest in getting them released than i do. i respect the state department. they have their process that they do for everybody, not just for me. but anything that they might do to expedite that process, i heartily support. i want the american people to learn as much as we can about the work i did with our diplomats and experts. publicly i'm repeating it here today, i want them out as soon as they can get out. >> will you demand it? >> well they're not mine. they belong to the state department. >> she doesn't want the e-mails out. that's why she -- >> no no. >> -- purposely erased them the ones she wanted to. that's why she wiped her server clean. we learned from the department of defense and state department that she knew the day after

exactly who was responsible for benghazi. it was not spontaneous. it was planned ten days in advance. >> right. >> it had nothing to do with the youtube video. this is a lie. but she's getting away with it so it seems. >> and we talked about this actually a couple of months ago, sean. this exact issue. and i said to you, it's like you telling the irs, no sorry, i don't keep any financial records. but you can ask fox news and you can ask my radio guys and you can ask these other fellows if they sent me any checks in the last year. that's what they have to do here. she doesn't have any e-mail records. they have to piece them together from all the other people. it's ridiculous. >> hugh hewitt asked former cia director mike morrell whether or not he thinks her system was hacked. maybe we'll be able to get it from vladimir putin, or the chinese. here's how the exchange went. >> as a professional matter, do you believe that at least one or perhaps many foreign

intelligence servers have everything that went to and from that server? >> i think foreign intelligence services the good ones the good ones have everything on any unclassified network that the government uses whether it's a private server or a public one. >> so what does that mean the chinese may have this all backed up for us? so maybe putin might have it all backed up? does that mean if she becomes president, she is potentially subject to blackmail because the erased e-mails they have in their possession that might in fact be damning to her and cause a lot of legal problems for her? >> no i would absolutely bet, sean that the russians have them the chinese have them. if we're lucky a couple of reasonably friendly intelligence services might have them as well. the french and the british. but it might be that isis who actually are quite sophisticated when it comes to the internet have them. but i think there's absolutely

no doubt that if you wanted to get them from the chinese, the chinese could cough up a full set of hillary clinton e-mails well before the state department's releasing them a day before the new hampshire primary or something. they're insulting the people's representatives in congress sean. >> well said. mark stein, great to see you. thank you, sir. coming up the "new york post" is reporting george stephanopoulos' contract with abc news is over $100 million. maybe this is why they're standing by their, quote, chief anchor. outspoken ann coulter is here to weigh in. michelle malkin and jeff fox worthy will both be here in the studio as "hannity" continues.

>> that was more brian williams going on late night talk shows. this goes to the heart and essence of journalism. i think you look at what happened to brian williams i think this is more severe. >> that is peter schweizer and "hannity" exclusive commenting on the scandal surrounding hillary clinton. why isn't abc news punishing stephanopoulos after admitting donating tens of thousands of dollars to the clinton foundation? the "new york post" said he signed a seven-year $105 million contract with the network. two weeks from now, this book is coming out. you're seeing it for the first time. adios, america, the left's plan to turn our country into a third world hell hole. it will be out june the 1st. i have the first copy. did you autograph it for me? >> yes, i did. you dictated what you wanted me to say. >> i did a little bit, that's true. let's go to stephanopoulos. you see all this. it's obvious that he always was

a liberal clinton hack. and remains one. >> this is just the icing on the cake. i was looking through that birth control question he sprang on -- >> mitt romney your buddy. >> well all the republicans. and it was unbelievable. i started laughing. i posted it on my web page by the way. you should go look at it. because it goes on and on and on. it's a ridiculous issue. thank heaven romney was the first one to get it because he laughed at stephanopoulos and said george is anyone is beyond contraception? they come in and out of democratic politics and george stephanopoulos in particular was the one passing out affidavits denying that clinton had an affair with jennifer flowers. could we get stephanopoulos on the record to tell us whether he knew clinton raped broderick? surely he was curious about it. can we get those answers? but the main point here is as i've learned from all of my book tours, you can't control what other people do but you can

control what you do. and for the rnc to say none of these people get to interview our candidates. it doesn't have to be you and me. how about, you know have somebody keeping time. let the republicans ask the questions. because the sole purpose of these debates is for the media, working for the democratic party, to implanting the republican ideas that somebody wants to ban contraception. if you and i could moderate a democrat debate i would spend 15 minutes asking democrats to describe exactly what procedures they think is okay to be done on a baby right before it's born. in addition to jamming scissors up the baby's neck. >> and suctioning out the brain. >> senator clinton, what else would you allow and where would you draw the line? could we have a half an hour on that? you look at all these debates, the republicans are never asked about energy policy the union pensions that are bankrupting

all these states. they're never asked about immigration. no. we get 18 questions on global warming, contraception, gay marriage. that's not what voters want to know about. it's what the media does to dirty up republicans. i'm sick of republicans thinking, oh -- >> stephanopoulos claims he recused himself. he said he would never do a debate. no more. look what candy crowley did in the last presidential cycle. >> i say no mainstream media debates. none. let the candidates pick their own questions. or let the audience -- they can submit some and the rnc will flip through them. if they see 17 questions on global warming, the voters don't want to no that. msnbc will get testy that the republican primary -- >> i know that's funny. >> i would add one other point on that. even newt gingrich in my opinion, was often using his attacks on the media --

>> he did a pretty -- >> it shows you how much the republican primary audience the votesers are dying for this. people hate the media. >> they do. >> use that to your advantage, republicans. >> i agree with you. two weeks from tonight you're going to be here. >> yes, i am. >> i got the first copy of your book. >> a blockbuster. >> i just want one little question answered. >> adios america, do you think america's in jeopardy of falling? >> yes. >> failing? >> yes. >> a great republic once a great republic. >> yes. but for teddy kennedy's 1965 immigration iraq barack hussein obama could never have been elected president in this country. i'll let you mull that for two weeks. until i come back. >> do you know what pages are going to be viewed most controversial by the left wing media media? i pick it out almost every time. >> you never pick it out. >> i have picked it out. i'm not talking about your boyfriend. >> i will say about three books

back even though i say liberals can never learn, they have learned, stop inviting her on our programs to try to destroy her. let's just pretend she doesn't exist. the only satisfaction i have is it's got to be driving them crazy, especially with this book. >> ann coulter, two weeks from tonight, adios america, turning our country into a third world hell hole. coming up america has been great to people like president obama. jay-z. people love to criticize this country. when we come back michelle malkin is in the studio with us. and jeff foxworthy stops by our studio to talk about his brand-new season "are you smarter than a fifth grader."

the kind of wealth shaming. the wealth shaming agenda of not only obama, but the progressives and biden, and elizabeth warren. that phrase you didn't build that is something that has festered over the last several years. and we've seen it erupt over just the last couple of weeks. he called our achievers, top achievers, our builders and makers lottery winners. as if some random powerball that people worked themselves to death. >> i have my air conditioner, but i remember life without it when i was a kid. you talk about the story of carrier. you talk about those who created some of the most famous bridges. you talk toilet paper. who would have thought -- think about life without toilet paper. >> right. >> but these are all great inventions. but this book was inspired by obama saying this. >> if you've got a business, you didn't build that. somebody else made that happen. >> that's just not true. >> yeah.

of course not. and it is against the grain of our founding fathers' principles that people own and should profit from the fruits of their labor, and the fruits of their minds. immediately following that quote, was something even worse, where he was denigrating and mocking people and saying that people who had made it in our country, were not as smart as everybody else didn't work as hard as everyone else. of course they did. they were a heck of a lot smarter than you, barack obama. that's why they've made so much money and fulfilled people's wants and needs. >> he became president. jay-z, beyonce, they're like royalty in america, for crying out loud. his background is not the best either. i look at all these stories that you have and each story is an incredible, i have a friend of mine won inventor of the year these are bright intuitive tinkerers as you say that make our lives easier. why are they being demonized? why is he diminishing? there's got to be a psychology here to diminishing their great

embarrassed by a fifth grader that knows more than you? >> on jeopardy at least it's adults. but the premise is when mark burnett first called me and said do you want to host a game show oh no what's the premise, adults taking an elementary school test to get a shot at $1 million. >> what percentage of the time do people do it? >> i think we've given the million away twice. >> the fifth graders beat them. >> the fifth graders always beat them. the human brain is a weird thing. you sit there and think, the file that has all the words to the gilligan's island theme song never deleted. it's protected forever. and everything about triangles, the brain said we don't need it throw it away. >> you do throw it away. i try to help my kids with their math homework and i did okay in math. but i'm just like this is out of my league. i don't remember this. >> the way they do -- i was like about the fifth grade, you're on your own. >> what's pi? >> are we taking the larry the

cable guy definition? >> don't even go any further. i get the impression that we've dumbed down all national tests. and i get the impression that you know i would think kids are not as smart as in years gone by. your show says just the opposite. >> you know i think the things you're quizzing them on if they had it recently it's something that they studied. you know in the show when we -- we bring all the kids together and listen to them say, remember we were studying about marco polo and they retain it. it's current to them. we learned it for a test 40 years ago. and it's gone. >> what are you 30? >> yeah, yeah. >> any big surprises this year? >> it's kind of the same thing. >> are think any winners this year? >> i can't tell you that. >> what do you mean you can't tell me that? >> there are people who do

really well. there are people that go out on the first three questions. >> do they think that they're going to win? do they really believe going in they're going to win this? >> i think they do. >> you know they're not. >> have you ever done a game show? >> in my head at home i'm answering every question. >> one time i played celebrity jeopardy for charity. >> how did you do? >> i got the thing in my head and lights in my eyes. you hesitate. because if i'm wrong i cost the charity -- halfway through the show i'm in last place. all i can picture is the kids going, why did we get him? we're never going to get well. why do we have him? because i ended up winning. but that's what happens to people. they will come to me and say, this lady's really smart. >> one political question. >> you can do more than one. >> are you doing any jokes about obama, hillary these days? >> not in public. >> not in public?

>> you really don't have to write anything. it's kind of astounding isn't it? you know to me one of the things i like about a fifth grader is you do show how education can change people. to me the thing that's frustrating is the american public doesn't seem to be upset that the national debt has more than doubled under obama. >> he will accumulate more debt than any president before him. >> everyone before that. nobody seems to be worried about that. >> i talk about it. we have $100 trillion unfunded liability. 50 million americans in poverty. 46 million americans, 46 consecutive months on food stamps. >> the number of people who have gone on food stamps has doubled in the last what five or six years. you can't sustain that. yet i get frustrated nobody pays attention to this stuff. >> you don't want to miss it. are you smarter than a fifth grader. >> you don't want to miss it. >> it is funny. i laugh very hard watching the show. you're great at it. jeff good to see you, my

friend. >> good to see you, buddy. we need your husband, even if you are a fifth grader our "question of the day" is next.
