r was elected friday his challenger conceded. soccer's governing body and leader have come under fire this week after the u.s. announced corruption charges against several fifa officials. they range from bribery to racket earring. fifa's president not facing any charges for now. james holmes said he was driven to kill by depression. jurors on friday got to watch a video of holmes in which he told a psychiatrist he went from being suicidal to homicidal after breaking up with a girlfriend. he denies he acted out of anger. holmes pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity. i'm patricia stark. now here's "hannity." for all your headlines, logon to foxnews.com. welcome to the special edition of han i di. that time of year once again as college graduates get ready to enter the real world while giving advice by their chosen
10:01 pm
speakers those at the commencement addresses. some of the advice is great, some of it shocking. for the hour we're going to examine both. but first, to kick things off, here is some of the best advice given to graduates so far this year. >> those of you who are graduating this afternoon with high honors awards and distinctions, i say well done. and as i like to tell the "c" students you, too, can be president. >> life's not fair it never is it isn't now and never will be. do not fall into the trap. the entitlement trap of feeling like you're a victim. you are not. >> history rarely yields to one person. >> never forget what happens when it does. >> here now for the hour is the author of "the new york times"
10:02 pm
best seller the silencing, how the left is killing free speech. kirsten powers. and political analyst juan williams. comedian tom shallou, and the book out next week adios america, the left's plan to turn our country into a third world hell hole. the one and only ann coulter. you haven't read the book yet. >> that title, that will stop you. one second they say in the bookstore, they'll say, what is that about, holy smokes. >> she's already created quite a stir. which we won't talk about now. the first question i have to ask is this. why are conservatives far outnumbered by liberals in terms of giving commencement addresses? kirsten? >> i don't know. maybe because the academia is overrun by liberals. i talk about this a lot in my book about how there's a group that tracks the commencement speeches and since 2000 they've had twice as many commencement speeches canceled.
10:03 pm
almost all of them conservatives. and invitations go to the conservatives in the first place. the fact they're getting canceled for the conservatives when they're not invited in the first place shows you what a disparate -- >> juan, your son is a conservative. thank goodness he didn't inherit your liberal geens. >> i am a living weather vane on this topic. i used to get lots of invitations to deliver commencement addresses. i guess i've done close to three dozen. like 36 all right? but, fox news and the controversies i got into especially when i got fired by npr, shut it down. >> none? >> no. like i just did this year i did franklin pierce which is where the former white house chief of staff is president now. i'll get something like that. for the most part -- >> exactly what kirsten said.
10:04 pm
liberty university was the worst speech i ever gave. the only time i used a teleprompter. >> why did you use a teleprompter? >> i was on my book tour. i didn't have time to put one together. did you ever do a commencement speech? >> no. i'm so relieved. i kept thinking if i were a liberal having researched and written my own "new york times" best sellers, i wouldn't have any time to write books. i would be on commencement speeches and be on postage stamps. i won't complain about the topic being obvious and dull but i will say the commencements usually are, oh my gosh they're boring. thank heaven i don't have to give any commencement speeches. >> did matthew mcconaughey not impress you? >> no, he was great. other than the group that sang its heart out here for a pitc
10:05 pm
think mcconaughey is the only one to thank god for his oscar speech. i never watch them, but i believe i am correct. >> i think there's too many conservatives speaking at commencements. what is it six to one? that's a better -- that's more conservative than there are on campus. are. >> more than in the faculty lounge. >> you want to be representative. it would be even fewer. what do conservatives want to speak on campuses for anyway. they can charge high fees and speak at corporate events and do better. >> i don't think, especially these big universities i think the last thing a student wants is a long speech. what do you really want to tell them? they just finished partying they're probably hung over. they want to get their degree and go to the next party. with that said there is an inherent bias here. there's also a negative tone that i've seen emerge america's grim and things aren't going well. which i kind of agree with since obama's our president.
10:06 pm
>> i would say that comes a lot from the conservatives. >> well, it is. if i was one of the 93 pl americans out of work -- >> you're never going to get a job, you're going to live in your parents' basement adios. you can't give that speech. oh your book. that's a depressing message. don't forget sean you're also talking to parents and grandparents. it's a real moment for them and they do want to hear something from the speaker. >> they should be ex polesed to this is a radical idea exposed to people who think differently than they do. and actually be able to see, if you have condoleezza rice she's not coming to speak about the iraq war. she's giving a commencement address. we should be able -- i opposed the iraq war, but we should be able to hear from people who may have other insights to share with us even though we disagreed with them on something. i think that's the problem. >> sean can i say, i think we've all said you know
10:07 pm
surprise surprise david horowitz has been writing how left-wing college campuses are for years. the ex weatherman buddies are tenured faculty. i have a limit for perpetual outrage about these things. i think we need to take the next step is to say, what do conservatives do about it. why don't they walk out when they're getting another racism rap from michelle obama. go to brunch early. pick up your degree at another point point. something i've been pushing for for six months and they still haven't listened to me -- >> they don't listen to me either. >> republicans to hold hearings on the cost of college education. invite all thement presidents of the universities in. why has college tuition gone up 1,000% since 1978. nothing else has gone up like that. explain your salaries. some of these college presidents are making $1 million a year. i would demand that they come
10:08 pm
with -- >> look at the amen corner you're creating here. kirsten is saying, amen. >> the republicans, like rick santorum, who say, what a snobbish attitude. the working man might not want to go to college. i just think, you should help young people set high bars for themselves. i think an education matters. he said oh they're liberal professors out there. no they're not always liberal professors. >> only ten to one. >> only the people who are smart, believe me. >> i like peter teal. he gives you $100,000 to not go to school. he says i will pay you not to go to college. you can get to work right now. and the results are fantastic. >> what's a great idea. >> if the -- >> it's not supply and demand. it's subsidized by the taxpayer. >> you're talking about -- >> that has got to stop.
10:09 pm
who's on the hook for it. >> if it's a private school, they ought to be able to charge whatever they want. >> the middle class -- no no no not when we're guaranteeing it. this is the whole mortgage bubble crisis all over again. >> school loans is a different issue. if you're talking -- >> the same issue -- >> it's not the same issue. >> why get in the ring. >> the middle class is being lied to. they're told this is an investment in your future. i agree with you, it's not true with a lot of the colleges today. but obama, all these democrats are saying this is an investment in your future. you get a college degree. it is worth spending $200,000 on this because you will make more money. no you won't. the taxpayer ends up -- >> wait a minute. let me go through this. >> i don't know -- >> wait a minute. juan juan. i want to bring this up. >> it's true. >> hang on. if there's 5,000 -- or 50,000 people who apply to harvard or
10:10 pm
princeton, or one of these schools, let's take 1,000, it's an honor to get one of those coveted slots, and you get in and they want to charge whatever they want to charge so you have the prestige of that degree that's supply and demand. >> no it isn't, sean. you don't understand. you don't understand. you can say the same thing, i will explain this again. if a house is selling for $2 million, if someone wants to pay that they can pay it. but aha, we're giving you this mortgage we're going to -- >> you're supposed to pay that money back. >> who's on the hook for it when they don't pay it back. >> it's separate. >> no it's not separate. >> i paid back my student loans. >> most people pay back their student loans. >> hang on no. because only in the case of mortgages, only in the case of college tuition are those loans guaranteed by whom the federal government. >> okay. >> no other loan is guaranteed like that. >> the american people as taxpayers, as a political body say that's a good thing for us for our economy.
10:11 pm
>> but it isn't. >> you are totally missing the point. >> i dropped out of college because i was afraid of the mounting debt. >> what happened? >> i'm on tv. >> most kids are going to end up in the value of their college degree do not talk about harvard harvard, princeton, yale -- >> you sound like a liberal. >> run out of the room kids. run away. do not listen to her in a commencement address. >> you know what we need ann coulter to give a commencement address. >> oh my god. the house of horrors. walk out on her. can you imagine if you paid for your child to go to college for four years and ann coulter -- >> i would love to listen to ann coulter. >> my speeches are not boring like, oh, life's journey. half the room will be lined in cops.
10:12 pm
very exciting when i give a college speech. and i give a lot of them. but you are not allowed to talk about supply and demand. >> when you take out the -- it's separate and apart. it's separate and apart. >> we're running up another bubble. another economic bubble. >> why do you want to control prices of anything? >> you're not controlling -- >> unless it's state-run -- >> look the government can say we are going to guarantee a student loan for up to $1 million a semester. every college in the country -- >> we've got to go. before we go i want to put up denzel washington. he said something really good i thought in his commencement speech. put god first in everything you do. everything that i have is by the grace of god. i don't stick with him, but he's always stuck with me. and he also said you'll never see a u-haul behind a hearse. he said i don't care how much money you make you can't take it with you. it's not how much you have it's what you do with what you have. on that note we'll come back on this special edition of
10:13 pm
"hannity." and up next. >> potentially the first african-american first lady i was also the focus of another set of questions and speculations. >> first lady michelle obama raised a lot of eyebrows after delivering that highly divisive commencement address. our panel responds next. address, well why did she do it? our panel responds next. ♪ (music throughout) ♪ sfx: (smash) sfx: (roar) ♪ sfx: (roar)
10:14 pm
10:15 pm
10:16 pm
michelle obama made this the focus of her commencement address at tuskegee university. watch this. >> but as potentially the first african-american first lady i was also the focus of another set of questions and speculations. conversations sometimes rooted in the fears and misperceptions of others. was i too loud or too angry, or too emasculating. we both felt the sting of those daily sleights through our entire lives. the folks who crossed the street in fear of their safety. the clerks who kept a close eye on us in all those department stores. the people at the formal events who assumed we were the help. and those who questioned our intelligence our honesty, even our love of this country. and i know that these indignities are obviously nothing compared to what folks across the country are dealing with every single day.
10:17 pm
those nagging worries that you're going to get stopped or pulled over for absolutely no reason. the fear that your job application will be overlooked because of the way your name sounds. then there was the first time i was on a magazine cover. it was a cartoon drawing of me with a huge afro and a machine gun. now, yeah, it was satire. but if i'm really being honest it knocked me back a bit. or you might remember the onstage celebratory fist bump between me and my husband after a primary when that was referred to as a terrorist fist jab. and over the years, folks have used plenty of interesting words to describe me. one said i exhibited a little bit of uppityism. another noted that i was one of my husband's cronies of color. >> we bring back our panel for reaction. i watched this speech. and i thought it was the wrong
10:18 pm
tone for a commencement address for this reason. she seemed angry in the speech. she talked a lot about race in the speech. and the thing that i was thinking is you're the first lady of the united states of america. in spite of obstacles, you made it to that position. your husband's the president. the way she said it it didn't -- >> we're looking at two different speeches. >> you're watching from the liberal perspective. >> she didn't seem angry at all. she's a pretty good speaker. i thought her presentation was great. i think she's talking about her experiences. this is a historically black college as well. >> tuskegee yeah. >> she's talking to african-american students that a lot of people in the audience can relate to a lot of those things. that's her experience. to share this is what i experienced. >> i didn't get the transition. i faced difficulties maybe it seemed like there was an angry edge to her speaking style. and then this is what can happen to you, to america. this is how we've changed.
10:19 pm
this is how we've overcome. this is how we've evolved. this is how we righted wrongs and injus justices and i didn't hear that. >> she's a one-note charlie. this is all she ever talks about. this is what her princeton thesis is about. does she talk about anything other than america is a racist country? it's kind of getting to be a snooze. >> she has the uppity indignity of being featured on the "new yorker." some of these things that were said on her were said on right wing blogs and things like that. do you really think she was hurt by them? she said she had trouble sleeping at night because she worried if people really liked her. do you believe that sean? >> i don't understand the demonization of her. i really don't. >> i'm just saying i can't believe she's insecure. >> she's married to a public person. she's not a public person. when she's talking about the first time she saw herself on the front of a magazine --
10:20 pm
>> by the "new yorker." the "new yorker" loves michelle obama. >> let me just say, first of all, keep in mind it's tuskegee. this is working class to poor black kids who are at the edge of the college experience in america. and i think they want to know that michelle obama has some bonding with them. she goes through the experience of being suspected of being a criminal when you go in the department store because of the way you're dressed. and i think michelle obama delivered that. i heard you, sean when you said where is the moment where she transitions and say, but i made it and we can make it and you can make it. at that moment of inspiration, i think it was missing. you asked whether or not she gets hurt. she does get hurt. i can tell you from personal experience i once said about michelle obama when she was coming in she cannot be carmichael in a designer dress. holy smokes that --
10:21 pm
>> that's a good line. >> anything controversial coulter likes. >> liberals should grow a thick erskine. this is really child's play for a conservative does she go home and cry at night? how are you going to face the world? >> let me say to you, she has been terrific on childhood obesity and military families. >> have you tried any of the school lunches? i heard they're awful. >> mr. diet king i think it might be good for you. >> she said i love my daughters more than anything else. while that may not be the first thing folks want to hear from a harvard educated person who is against loving your children. there was a lot of straw men in this speech. >> let's go to some more of her. this was a second speech she gave. >> i want to urge you to actively seek out the most contentious, polarized gridlock places you can find because so often throughout our history,
10:22 pm
those have been the places where progress really happened. the places where minds are changed, lives transformed. where our great american story unfolds. climate change economic inequality human rights criminal justice. these are the revolutions of your time. and you have as much responsibility and just as much power to wake up and play your part in our great american story. >> revolution in our time? what is she talking about? >> revolution on climate change? >> i don't even know -- how are we watching the same thing? you really think -- >> through the prism of liking them. >> the revolution as some sort of overthrow. >> you know what but put it in context. she is the person who said for the first time in her adult life she's proud of her country. i don't hear in either the president or her enough about
10:23 pm
america's greatness. like when the president goes around and apologizes for the country. >> oh stop. >> she talks about problems. no i don't hear the celebratory greatness of america from them. the ability of young people to get out there, get in the fight, make a difference. >> american revolution. >> a revolution in terms of making life better for all of us. that's a good thing, sean hannity. >> it was overland she was speaking at? it was a great speech for overland. >> there you go. >> falsely accuse a college republican of race like dunham did it. we got that out. i think we're all agreed it was a really boring speech. >> i know. that would be strong medicine coming from the first lady. >> all right. coming up next on this special edition of "hannity." change will impact every country on the planet. no nation is immune. i'm here today to say that
10:24 pm
climate change constitutes a serious threat to global security. >> more than say, iran having a nuke? is that a message the military wants to hear? more of president obama's address to the coast guard and their graduates right after the break. stay with us. graduates right after (music) i'm supposed to tell you how it feels when you book the perfect family vacation on hotels.com. but i think he's kinda nailing it. (music) hotels.com. they don't need me right now. 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
10:25 pm

no...ok...a million bucks! oh no... geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. live from america's news headquarters i'm patricia stark. a prophet muhammad cartoon contest coming to an end in phoenix without any violence or arrests. the fbi and police closely monitored the event. a rally was held outside the mosque. organizers wore anti-islam shirts and cursed at attendees. others showed up in a counterdemonstration shouting go home nazis. the council on islamic relations said teaching people way to hurt people is really sad to see that.
10:27 pm
friday's evented took place weeks after a similar anti-muslim event in texas came under attack by two gunman who wounded a security guard. the gunmen were shot and killed. i'm patricia stark. now back to "hannity." welcome back to the special edition of "hannity." college commencement addresses, typically tended to be inspirational. with many liberal speakers their left-wing ideology becomes their message. watch president obama's speech to the graduates of the u.s. coast guard academy. >> this brings me to the challenge i want to focus on today. when our coast guardsmen are already on the front lines, and then perhaps more than any other will shape your entire careers. that's the urgent need to combat and adapt to climate change.
10:28 pm
as a nation we face many challenges, including the grave threat of terrorism. as americans, we will always do everything in our power to protect our country. even as we meet threats like terrorism, we cannot and we must not ignore a peril that can affect generations. climate change will impact every country on the planet. no nation is immune. i'm here today to say that climate change constitutes a serious threat to global security. an immediate risk to our national security. and make no mistake, it will impact how our military defends our country. so we need to act, and we need to act now. >> all right. is that really the message that young members of our military want to hear? we continue with our panel. let me understand this. climate change one of the biggest threats to our national security. this is a guy that negotiated with iran that admits that
10:29 pm
their breakout time is in 11 years zero meaning they can build a nuclear weapon immediately that he's given a seal of approval on. he didn't demand that they recognize israel. that they stop being state sponsors of terror. this is a guy who's going to give iranians nukes and he said climate change is the biggest threat to our military in the world. do you agree with that? >> again, i think i'm doing a kirsten number here. he said we have military issues. but for the coast guard, you can't ignore the threat of flooding of people -- >> i'll give you two options. >> food shortages. >> giving the iranians nukes, or climate change. >> that's up to you to believe that. that's not the fact. >> he also didn't say it was -- >> he said the breakout time in 11 years would be zero. >> in 11 years, that's right. he wants to negotiate a deal that would prevent them from being able to -- >> no that's not what he's
10:30 pm
talking about. >> he's talking about at the end of the ten years they would have to renegotiate or look at the deal again. that's better than them having nukes now. >> he didn't say it's one of the threats, not the absolute -- and where he got that is from the pentagon. the pentagon is the one that said that. this is a pentagon report by all those crazy left-wingers at the pentagon that say that climate change is going to be a serious issue for the military. >> the "time" magazine in the '70s said the new ice age is coming. then it evolved into global warming. >> there was no great consensus about -- >> when did the angry professors alter their -- >> it's not comparable. it was not a broad based consensus about it. that was sort of a -- >> consensus. so anybody like me who thinks it's a hoax is a denier. >> we didn't have the majority of the scientists saying an ice age was coming. >> we put up names after names
10:31 pm
of scientists that say they think it's a hoax. it's altered data. >> the sad thing about the speech is he's trying to tailor the speech to his audience. saying the coast guard they're the ones that have to clean up the mess for climate change. if he goes to a culinary school it gets warmer people lose their appetite it's going to come down on you guys. >> your thoughts on this? climate change? our biggest military threat? >> no. and again, it doesn't surprise me. and that will be one of the questions in my tobacco style hearings that republicans have -- will have with college presidents. we'll see how much their climatologists how many of them are employed how much they're making how much they pay for that degree. how many hours of college are spent on climate change. how many professors they have teaching that. and what the professors are making compared to what their graduates are making five years out. >> that really bothers you how much the professors get paid and how much university presidents
10:32 pm
get paid. >> again, sean we are paying for it. >> if we took out the subsidies -- >> exactly what my point is. if colleges are so confident as you have the entire democratic party and obama and college presidents saying this degree is worth so much money, you're going to make -- wouldn't guarantee their own loans then if they're so confident their own graduates will make all kinds of money. they don't make money. there are a huge number of them aren't paid back. the taxpayer is left on the hook on it. the price of tuition keeps going up directly in line with -- >> here's the fallacy in what you're saying. >> there's no fallacy. >> i hate to agree with juan but -- >> apart from the fact that it's not a job training institution, you know. >> that's how it's being sold. >> no it's not. >> no no no. >> i can tell you -- hang on. >> your president, the one we're just talking about.
10:33 pm
>> the ability to debate with sean and ann coulter is a good thing. >> just a minute. >> let me just say, you would say conservatives should value books written ins classics by what the -- what's called the dead white men. you want americans to read those books and think about them. >> if this was a free market and people were choosing colleges based on that -- >> that's why sean said it's hard to get into harvard, yale and princeton. >> some of the few who can possibly read the great books. do you think all colleges they're reading great books? >> i think i actually go to college campuses more often. i'm just saying to you -- but your idea is the ability to think and the ability to speak doesn't matter. the ability to write doesn't matter. big paying jobs that pays off your college degree. >> first you said that nobody's
10:34 pm
trying to sell colleges as being good. >> see, the only value you have. >> i'm still talking. >> go go go. >> you say no one's selling colleges as a way to make more money in the future. you spent the rest of your filibuster it would help you make more money. >> no no no. >> you, democrats, michelle obama, as they used to do with the zero down mortgages, when you spend $2 million on this house, it's an investment in your future. this is how college tuition -- >> what i'm telling you is i'm going to take a different tact. they're not teaching them critical thinking skills and to debate. in my book it is filled with the horror stories of exactly how they tamp down the debate. >> i know there are instances like that. i don't doubt that. my son the conservative has told me about this. let me just tell you, where you get to read in american society
10:35 pm
great books, argue about them it's america's colleges -- >> they are not. you have no idea what's going on -- >> the best book i read in college -- >> al gore is a global warming documentary. >> we've got to take a break. >> the parents are $200,000 poorer. liberals are more likely to be invited to give these addresses more than conservatives. we'll go over the numbers with our panel and much more straight ahead. s, we're going to go over the numbers i knew instantly that this was...wow! it's crest hd. it's amazing. new crest hd gives you a 6x healthier mouth and 6x whiter teeth in just one week. it gets practically every detail. that's why it's called hd. try new crest pro-health hd.

changing ourselves and changing the world around us will apply equally to all. if you make your bed every morning, you will have accomplished the first task of the day. it will give you a small sense of pride. and it will encourage you to do another task. and another. and another. and by the end of the day, that one task completed will have turned into many tasks completed. making your bed will also reinforce the fact that the little things in life matter. if you can't do the little things right, you'll never be able to do the big things right. and if by chance you have a miserable day, you will come home to a bed that is made. that you made. and a made bed gives you encouragement that tomorrow will be better. if you want to change the world, start off by making your bed. >> we continue with our panel. so this is the question. we come to the last -- almost the last segment of the show. i love that speech. because it talks about life

10:53 pm
that. you know what i mean? that is something that i probably would have been a good thing to sort of hear. >> you're copping out. >> why is it a copout? >> they always try to give grand advice. nobody's listening. it's hard to make young people listen. i never ended up graduating. but i had a speaker come to my high school an athlete. it was some athlete. he said if i could give you one piece of advice keep a diary. wake up and write something down. and i thought, all right. i'll do it. i started doing it. it was great. that changed my life. that little thing. i wish i knew who it was so i could thank him. he said keep a diary. that started me writing, and comedy and jokes and that led to my career. it was life changing. just a thing an athlete said. >> coulter, what would you say? >> don't go to law school. thank you and good night. >> that's it? over? >> if you're not employed
