tracy turned 44 the day of our interview. she bears a reminder of what happened that day. scars, yes, but also this a declaration that she is a fighter and a survivor and that's how we will remember her too. good night. tonight -- >> it shouldn't fly there, it shouldn't fly anywhere. >> a special hannity history lessen on the democrats and clinton's connection to the confederate flag. mark stein is here with reaction. >> no family of an american hostage has ever been prosecuted for paying a ransom for the return of their loved ones. rudy giuliani will weigh-in on allowing families of american hostages to pay terrorists ransom. >> you can't pay ransom, it's terrible it's heartbreaking. >> and hillary clinton ditches the scooby van for yet another private jet. we'll have reaction.

>> i think our country needs big change. >> governor bobby jindal is here to explain why he has announced today he's running for president. hannity starts right here right now. tonight, a hannity history lesson on democrats civil rights record. now, liberals in the mainstream media want to blame the gop for race problems in america, but they will never tell you the real history. let's start at the 1964 civil rights act. 80% of republicans in congress voted for the bill only 64% of democrats did. oh and by the way. al gore's father bill clinton's mentor a segregationist by the name of j. william full bright. a one time senate majority leader and former klan member, they all voted against the civil rights ability. as for the 1965 voting rights act, 87% of congressional republicans voted for it, 79% of democrats voted for it, so the republican party they were the

party that lyndon johnson credited with the civil rights act passage, let's move on to south carolina and the confederate flag issue. in 1962 democratic south carolina governor fritz hollings raised the confederate flag atop the south carolina state house. to hear that history from hillary clinton, here's what she said yesterday. >> it shouldn't fly there, it shouldn't fly anywhere. >> by the way, in 1996 a republican governor in south carolina tried to take the flag down, it was voted out. let's look at 1987 then governor bill clinton in arkansas, he signed a bill indicating the confederate roots of the arkansas state flag it said in part "the blue star above the word arkansas is to commemorate the confederate states of america." looks like hillary has a little bit of a flag problem. here now with reaction the author of climate change the facts mark stein. mr. stein, here's what bothers me lyndon johnson said without

republicans, there is no passage of the civil rights act, voting rights act. >> right. >> 64-65. future democratic leader in the senate robert byrd filibustered the bill al gore's father wasn't there, bill clinton's mentor j. william fullbright all of these men voted against it. but most people don't know this. >> no. >> how did this become a republican problem. >> exactly. i mean i know the gop is called the stupid party, the idea that republicans can have the confederate flag hung around their neck is ridiculous. it's a democratic flag. the states that seceded during the civil war were all democrat states that's their flag the racist states until the 1960s were racist states. the democratic party was the largest and most powerful institution supporting slavery

in the english speaking world. it's the only one that survived into the 21st century. canadiens didn't do it australians didn't do it the democratic party and the states they controlled did it. it's their flag hillary clinton had it on campaign bumper stickers when she ran for president in 2008. you mentioned robert c. byrd sean. bill clinton was doing ku klux klan jokes at byrd's funeral. saying robert c. byrd he just did what he had to do i'm too sexy for my sheet. it's their flag it's their -- >> it's their problem. >> it's nothing to do with the republican party. >> i found a 1992 new york times article. you know what the story was about? bill clinton playing golf at a club that he played at all of his adult life as governor that didn't allow black membership. i guarantee you most americans don't know that about "america's

first black president." >> and again, sean it's a party with an incredible century and a half of institutional racism. people go on about apartheid south africa. the national party came to power in 1948 and they were gone 45 years later, that's how long they lasted. and nothing now. the democratic party has never come to terms with the evil of its past the idea -- it was a party committed to the proposition of the one human being could own another human being. and they've never -- they've never said a word about that. >> they've never apologized for it they never atoned for it in the way that they have the reconciliation commission in south africa. tony bear a couple years ago, was going around apologizing for everything he apologizes for the irish potato famine the canadien government apologized

for how it treated indian school children. when is the democratic party going to apologize for being the biggest slave holding supporting institution on the planet. and sticking with racism for the century after the abolition of slavely. >> this is a democratic problem, looks like nikki haley, the republican governor is going to clean up their mess. it's become blown up into a huge issue. i believe in substance over symbolism. i don't believe this is going to stop the next kid like roof that wants to shoot nine innocent church goers after sitting in a bible study with them for nine hours. nor do i believe any more gun laws are going to solve the problem. don't we have to start examining that all these people that are prone to or involved in these incidents, they tend to tell graph what their thoughts are prior? and now we discover that this guy dylann roof had all these rantings and ravings of a racist

lunatic, and nobody picked up on it. isn't that more substantive, won't that do more prior to these incidents to save lives than changing a flag? >> well i think what you're saying there, sean is that actually human judgment is what makes the difference. that's true in everything. if you remember the millennium bomber at the british columbia washington state border it was an alert border guard not liking the look in the eye. it's true of national security and it's true for these kind of crimes and they both tend to feature less lone wolves than known wolves. signaling their moves before hand in quite some detail. we had columbine where the kids were walking around doing hitler salutes and everything beforehand and nobody wants to make -- the same with virginia tech and nobody wants to make a judgment about people these days. and about their behavior. and that's really the only way

you can stop individuals like there, it testifies. i think it's insulting to the dead in charleston that it's dwindled down into a stupid argument about the confederate flag. >> let me ask you this this guy roof the flags he wore on his outfit. the flag of old apartheid south africa and he had the flag of rodiceo. the confederate flag didn't do it for him. >> he needs more symbols. >> the idea that it's come down to an argument about this is completely absurd even by the standards of all the jesse jackson al sharpton grievance mongering. it's absurd. >> you have all these retailers that have decided to stop selling anything confederate. now, i'm going to play the president using the n word and then ask the question if they're going to do that with confederate flags and other items, should they maybe do it with some of the most vile rap music, not all of it but those

that use the b word the n word the h word. >> racism we're not cured of clearly. it's not just a matter of it not being polite to say [ bleep ] in public. that's not the measure of whether racism still exists or not. it's not just a matter of overt discrimination we have to -- societies don't overnight completely erase everything that happened 200 to 300 years prior. >> should the president use that? and if stores ban the confederate flag should they ban music that uses the n word? >> well i don't think you can have it both ways. we seem to live in a world where, on this network, when the president uses that word it's bleeped out. at the same time if some rap act wants to put it throughout his cd that cd will be in the racks of walmart with everything else. i don't think you can have it

th ways. i'm big on free speech issues i don't think you can have a situation where words are bad words, but certain people are allowed to use those bad words. >> if you're going to make a decision one way don't you have to make it the other way to be consistent? >> i think that's true. i don't think the president t word. >> i don't either. i think that's simply unbecoming for the president of the united states to talk like that. and it's not what the issue is about these days. as i said those kind of issues are actually his party's issues. and i go back to that point, sean. the democratic party is uniquely racist and pro slavery to a degree unseen anywhere in the english speaking world, and that's where they should have that argument about themselves and leave the rest of us out of if because it has nothing to do with it i don't want their

internal history hung around my neck. >> well said and the history. also the first republican president was lincoln, and, of course he was the one that kept the union together and ended slavery. mark stein, good to see you. thank you, sir. cominging up next tonight, right here on hannity. >> is it a symbol of southern pride or a symbol of hate. and then what about this? does this offend you? this word. >> if you thought that was bad, wait until you hear what happened on don lemon's show last night. no family of an american hostage has ever been prosecuted for paying a ransom for the return of their loved ones. the last thing we should ever do is to add to a family's pain. >> a rare moment where i actually agree with obama, some think the president's decision to allow families to negotiate with hostage takers sets a dangerous precedent. we'll have former new york city mayor rudy giuliani. he's in studio to react to that.

that and more straight ahead. ugh! heartburn! no one burns on my watch! try alka-seltzer heartburn reliefchews. they work fast and don't taste chalky. mmm...amazing. i have heartburn. alka-seltzer heartburn reliefchews. enjoy the relief. ♪ i built my business with passion. but i keep it growing by making every dollar count. that's why i have the spark cash card from capital one. i earn unlimited 2% cash back on everything i buy for my studio. ♪ and that unlimited 2% cash back from spark means thousands of dollars each year going back into my business... that's huge for my bottom line. what's in your wallet?

president obama to apologize for slavery. >> i think it would be so redementive and so moving, you wouldn't have any hassle from congress. but for a man who's the leader of the -- what was once the largest nation on earth, to say, i apologize for what we did in america's original sin. >> here to talk with us is larry elders. >> how ridiculous. >> you're going to have the first black product apologize for slavery. not only is he not apologize -- this is the thing, the thing with don lemon and the sign is such a stunt, such a gimmick and so gratuitous and insulting, it reminds me of president obama using the n word he was trying to make a larger point. instead he has us talking about the n word. >> i don't like that word. that word is meant to be "fencive i think juan's right,

i think the word is gratuitous. it wasn't just cnn, it's the president that's being gratuitous by using that word. your thoughts? >> i don't understand why this is such a big deal. the president was not rapping, he was speaking to a talk show host. and he was explaining his view that the definition of a racist is not just somebody who doesn't use the n word publicly. that's what he was saying furthermore, if you ask for a book -- my nephew used to have it as a ring tone obama recorded a book on tape so you can hear him using the ring turn. i'm concerned that his assertion that america has racism in its dna. dna implies never changing. in 1960, 60 percent of americans said they would never vote for a black person for president. in 1954 only 4% of people approved of black/white marriages. now, 80% do. this country has changed.

for crying out loud accept the change. >> the president did say that we've changed, we have come a long way in this country. >> he said it's in our dna. >> you know what he's done? he shifted. in 2007 he gave a speech at morehouse college. the moses generation has gotten us 90% of the way there, don't you think that's cut into the 10% there we're not cured. >> he's gone from that guy to an aristocrat. >> it's very clear that the president said we have made tremendous progress on race in his lifetime, he said. >> then act like it. when he talks about dna, i don't see why you're getting so upset. in the constitution of the united states it said we're 3/5

human, we're not even fully human. it was amended, juan. >> yes. >> okay -- >> but our birth. at our point of birth as an american people we had racism baked in the pie. >> you know juan these worshippers who were murdered had their loved ones forgive the guy who killed their loved ones. when is black america going to forgive white america for slavery? when. >> most black americans don't walk around lamenting, oh, my god, we want an apology for slavery. >> you had don lemon have some white guy tell obama to apologize for slavery. we're still doing this. when are we going to move ahead. >> it ain't black people. it could be you, if you said the left is using this and constantly using this and constantly playing the race card i may say you're on to something. i can't tell you i say black people every day say, i can't

leave my life because there was once slavery in the country. i think people are trying to overcome. >> i would like to have a conversation about this. there is a word that is as offenseive as the n word only used by the left. that term is uncle tom. let's put that term to rest and whether or not you use that term you're a bigot. let's talk about that. >> i couldn't agree with you more. i probably think you've been targeted i've been targeted. >> you think. >> i know my conservative friends, including my son, that has been victimized by this thinking. >> his son got the smart genes. >> oh, stop. >> don't tell me your son has taught you -- >> no, i'm not saying that. >> >>. >> you can say anything about a black conservative. and by the way, the term uncle tom is the least of it. >> well if i get upset.

>> sean obama mentioned after these shootings, the bombing that took place in birmingham in 1963 he was right to do so. my goodness in 1963 you're talking about the top sheriff who sicked dogs and turned water hoses on civil rights workers. segregation forever. and j. edgar hoover was the head of the fbi. they knew who did it right away. the people who were responsible weren't brought to justice for decades. south carolina a female that is of indian descent -- this is not your grandfather's america. >> he should not continue to fight racism where it exists and when you say that young man exposed to the kind of hatred and websites and flags and rhodesian slang. i think you have to understand that poison is still in the system. he's a deviant just like manson was a deevian the.

manson wanted to start a race war, we wrote him off as a nut, a deviant evil nut. >> we have to break. great debate both of you, appreciate it. president obama changes the country's policy toward hostage negotiation. should families be able to pay ransom to isis and other terrorist groups if their loved ones are being held overseas without fear of prosecution. i agree with the president here but former new york city mayor rudy giuliani will weigh-in and the daily mail catches hillary clinton. good-bye scooby doo van, hello private jet. what happened? our panel will weigh-in on her hypocrisy coming up. i am totally blind. and sometimes i struggle to sleep at night, and stay awake during the day. this is called non-24. learn more by calling 844-824-2424. or visit your24info.com.

has ever been prosecuted for paying a ransom for the return of their loved ones. the last thing that we should ever do is to add do family's pain with threats like that. >> that was the president earlier today announcing a brand new executive order clearing the way for americans to make private ransom payments to terrorist organizations like isis abroad in order to free loved ones from hostage without threat of prosecution. is this the right decision? here to respond is rudy giuliani. >> i'm only speaking for myself and i don't often agree. if it was my son, my daughter. no government's going to stop me if i can pay money to free them. i understand i think families ought to have the right to make their own decision. >> okay but here's the problem, sean. it creates more hostages. so the problem is it creates more hostage situations. you're setting up a business now. what president obama essentially did was, he set up a business.

i have done a lot of work security work in mexico and south america, mexico has many more kidnappings than the united states. u.s. has very few kidnappings. a lot -- richer people in america to kidnap. the reason is in the united states we don't pay ransom we turn it over to the fbi, they catch the person and then of course, they used to have the death penalty for it and now it's life in prison. in mexico everybody pays. >> this is the problem with this stuff. i know you, i know you love your son, and your daughter. >> so on a personal level, what would you do? >> here's what you do. you have a rule and a law against it and let them. in certain situations you have plausible die nighability. you just -- if for example, if i were a prosecutor right? >> if you were the president, i did that i sat in your office and said i did it. >> i would decline prosecution. >> i would too.

but i think there's a value in having the rule. >> look we've -- president reagan did this not just president obama. but in those days you could do it with plausible deniability. you didn't have to have it as a rule. the minute you announce it as a rule people start thinking i have a business here i can make a lot of money this way. you know where that money's going. it's a terror organization. you want to come back here and kill us. >> all these other countries have allowed their citizens to negotiate with isis and they have paid sums of money, and they got their loved ones back. we're watching our loved ones getting be headed. who am i to say you carpet do that because you're encouraging future hostages. >> it's a very hard thing. the better way to deal with it have a rule against it if you're going to violate it violate it and let's all keep quiet about it. if you get rid of that rule and

you announce what the president just announced. isis -- not just isis, hez bala balance bol la all these groups have a new way of making money which is going to be more valuable than it was before. >> let me move on to presidential politics. i see hillary as a weak candidate. somebody that can be defeated. i see this whole issue with the confederate flag she's got a lot of questions to answer about her husband honoring that flag about the clinton/gore button about him playing golf at a golf club that did not allow membership. i think she's got a problem. what are you looking for in a republican nominee? who are you looking at so far that may be inspiring you? >> i'm looking for -- first of all, my major focus is national security. that's really what the president runs. >> right, commander in chief. >> that's his main job, that's where congress has a role but

the least role. i'm looking for a president that will be like a ronald reagan to a jimmy carter. ronald reagan took over a disspirited country that thought it was moving in the wrong direction. as gorbachev says in his book ronald reagan spent the soviet union into oblivion they couldn't keep up with the huge military buildup that we were doing. for example, if we were building our navy rather than our navy to preworld war i levels. china would not be thinking about increasing its navy to take over the sea. this man -- this man in the white house doesn't understand what i just said and i could say it i can scream it, you're not going to understand it the best way to contain china and make it the peaceful rise of china is for us to have an enormously robust navy that is

the greatest navy in the world, that can patrol two oceans that can fight two or three wars and china will not challenge us. because the chinese are practical. putin isn't as practical, the chinese are practical, same thing in europe the minute putin went into crimea obama should have sent 50,000 troops to nato. he didn't have to engage them just send them that puts the fear of god into people. we have the greatest military in the world. they want to do these things and he's holding them back. i have people in the military telling me about some of these hostage situations. they will tell me they should use us for extractions, our percentage rate of extracting people is extraordinarily high. you talk about any of them the s.e.a.l.s the rangers. >> who's on rudy giuliani's

radar in terms of. >> jeb for sure marco rubio, you know i like senator graham. >> that's the only mistake. >> i like him very much. i like george pataki i wish he could get traction. >> he's not going to win. >> scott walker i would like to know more about. >> yeah. >> rick perry i have a great fondness for. and what rick perry has, like jeb bush has, it will be interesting to compare his two records as governor very close, great economic development, low taxes, all the things we want domestically out of a president. and i think a much different candidate than he was four years ago. >> i have to break, good to see you. i think you would be a great secretary of defense. that's my thought. >> i think that would work. hillary clinton ditched the scooby van, the daily mail's

caught her red handed getting off on a private jet yesterday. one of those big gas guzzling air polluting planes she likes to fly in. frank hunts gretchen carlson, also more on the confederate flag issue. bobby jindal is here to explain why he's running for president. that and more straight ahead. i accept that i'm not 21. i accept i'm not the sprinter i was back in college. i even accept that i live with

a higher risk of stroke due to afib, a type of irregular heartbeat, not caused by a heart valve problem. but i won't accept giving it less than my best. so if i can go for something better than warfarin ...i will. eliquis. eliquis... reduced the risk of stroke better than warfarin plus it had less major bleeding than warfarin... eliquis had both. that really mattered to me. don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking eliquis you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. i accept that i'm not as fast, but i'm still going for my personal best... and for eliquis. reduced risk of stroke... plus less major bleeding.

ask your doctor... if eliquis is right for you. you probably know xerox as the company that's all about printing. but did you know we also support hospitals using electronic health records for more than 30 million patients? or that our software helps over 20 million smartphone users remotely configure e-mail every month? or how about processing nearly $5 billion in electronic toll payments a year? in fact, today's xerox is working in surprising ways to help companies simplify the way work gets done and life gets lived. with xerox, you're ready for real business.

good evening, this is a fox news alert from new york there's been a major new development in the case of those two prison escapees from upstate new york. just in the past hour a prison guard from the clinton correctional facility was arraigned on charges stemming from the escape of con vicked killers richard matt and david sweat. gene palmer is suspected of delivering tools inside frozen meat to the prisoners in the days before they fled. earlier this month, joyce mitchell a supervisor at the

prison was charged with her alleged role in the june 6th breakout. hundreds of police have been searching for matt and sweat, they're combing through the woods some 20 miles west of the prison where they found items belonging to the fugitives in a hunting cabin there. we will continue to update this story as details unfold. now, back to hannity. welcome back to hannity, remember when hillary clinton after announcing her candidacy makes a big deal driving her scooby van all across the country? that didn't last long. look at this exclusive photo from the daily mail showing the can can i date ditching her humble van for a more lavish private jet. season the that night? it looks like a pretty big one. maybe seats 15 people. the author of a brand new book

getting real host of the real story. your cover looks so much better than mine. >> it was the first shot he took. >> figures. >> no i was as stunned -- >> i was as stunned as anybody. >> this private jet issue comes up all the time. al gore leonardo dicaprio and hillary clinton, i can't take the -- what nobody cares? nobody cares, except me. >> and i'm here to play devil's advocate. >> i used to like you. >> her language has gotten so much better in the last couple of weeks. she's playing the class warfare card. she's fighting for people and doing it in a way that she'll actually announce for every hardworking american for everyone who gets up early in the morning, and she'll do this personalized politics which she never did before. and in our testing she's doing well, i wanted to do this with

you before watch bernie sanders. he is absolutely moving in new hampshire, he's moving in iowa. >> 7 points in new hampshire. >> it's amazing. >> wisconsin, iowa. >> that's why she's going further left though. that's why she is going after the very same people that bernie sanders. at least temporarily, she's going right for the base and -- >> she's not obama, though she's not bill clinton either. >> she can be a better version of hillary clinton, she couldn't get much worse. >> i'm going to agree with both of them. everything about politics is optics when people do see the scooby van, you can't start off as an average american and then go back to the private plane. i don't think can you do that. i'm going to disagree with you. the more and more this happens, the more people don't see her as authentic. the trust factor has gone down significantly. >> if this one issue hurts her, she's going to get back in the van. >> she's beating every republican. every type of scandal that's come out against her in the last 90 days. financial scandals political

scandals ethical scandals family scandals all of them and she's beating every republican. >> she goes to missouri. >> they don't have a candidate, though. look at her -- the one poll i keep going back to that matters, how do you get elected president, when 57% of americans do not find you honest or trustworthy. >> i have an answer for that. god help this country if we're now prepared to vote for someone we don't trust. but every election cycle we do things we never dreamed of. barack obama never should have won in 2012 where the right direction -- they never -- and sean it's just -- >> this is scary, you were right about this. let's go to gretchen. she starts out with 47% of the country. she's got to basically win in the right states and she can be president. >> that's right. but i do think we should focus on the african-american community. she went to ferguson in that

jet. why is that important? president obama didn't go anywhere near african-american community communities. unemployment was so high there, he didn't want toe address it. >> did you read the comment, girl, you're ten months too late. where was she? i thought that was a fair comment. >> they're counting on women going into the voting both and voting for her because she's a woman. she's gone hard against wall street. she's gone very far left in terms of bashings with wlsz. i just wanted to point out, going back, 99 to 2016 her top contributors, citigroup, goldman sachs. morgan stanley. how did they react. >> does she have herself a confederate flag problem, considering bill clinton signed the law honoring the confederate flag? she didn't say anything then? >> i don't know if she does or

not. this whole issue is incredibly divisive. growing up in minnesota and having my first job in the state of virginia, i was shocked to see the confederate flag flying so much there, from being in the north. i want to point out also, that i think that we need to take a step back and see who fought in the war and what the original

status of that flag was all about. >> i have lived in pursuing my radio career, i lived in alabama and georgia, and the people in the south are wonderful. >> they are. >> it's god, faith, family, country. >> totally. >> and there are legitimate reasons on the other side.

my name is bobby jindal. i am governor of the great state of louisiana and i am running for president of the greatest country in the world, the united states of america. >> that was louisiana governor bobby jindal announces he is in fact joining this long list of people running for president. here now the man himself, the governor of the great state of louisiana. how are you? good to see you? >> i'm doing great.

we launched a cause, not just a campaign in louisiana. >> you know it's a growing field but to me it's a strong field. you have a great record as governor. like many others how do you -- how do you separate from such a big crowd, former governors, current senators former senators. how do you break out? >> one thing i said today, jeb bush is saying we have to lose the primary in order to win the general. let me translate that. what he is saying is republicans need to abandon our conservative positions that's nonsense. i'm running because we need to take our country back. hillary clinton, president obama, they're trying to turn the american dream into the european nightmare. we need to rescue the country from socialism. we don't measure our people's success in how they're doing in government but in the real world and private sector economy. we'll speak the truth. i know it will upset people in washington. they don't think in washington you can appeal obamacare.

they don't think you can cut the size of government. >> you think you can do all that? if you become president you will cut the size of government real cuts, not just a reduction in the rate of increase? >> absolutely. look, every republican candidate talks about it. we need a godoer not a talker. i cut my budget 26% and have 30000 fewer bureaucrats from the day i took office. you're right. a lot of republican candidate also tell you they'll protect innocent human life and hunt down isis and get rid of common core, we're doing things in our state and need a doer not a talker. we had a first term senator who needed on the job training the last six plus years and don't need a repeat of that. >> i was angry at some quotes in "the washington post" about you. that under any other circumstances i would argue would be racist. i want to get your thoughts. i will put it up on the screen.

there's not much indian left in bobby jindal said a science professor at the university of louisiana at lafayette and "the post" claimed as the years went by and his political star rose many in the indian-american community became disillusioned with their native son. are you as angry as i am about that? >> absolutely. sean, i'm so tired of the left! trying to divide us by race. one thing i said today in my speech, we're not indian-americans, african-americans, poor americans we're all americans. my parents are proud of their indian heritage and came halfway across the world so their children could be born here raised here as americans, they came legally but they came here in search of the american dream. in search of freedom and opportunity. >> you said as governor of louisiana you cut the size the budget by 26% in real dollars meaning lower than when you took office and you eliminated 30,000 jobs and saying you can do that

nationally. what about national security? we've got isis radical islamic terrorists, this president won't even mention. we've got crimea ukraine and putin china's territorial ambitions to deal with. we've got iran and the design for nukes, the entire middle east, a broken relationship with israel. how do you handle all that? >> we can't stop leading from behind. we have to invest in our military and stand with israel and hunt down and kill these terrorists. as president i would name the radical islamic terrorists and we have a president who wants to apologize for america and wants to wage war on junk food. he won't e even say the word radical islamic terrorists. we will stop iran from become ing that nuclear power and make putin know we have brigades in eastern europe to make sure we deter his aggression. peace through strength works. america's military is the best in the world but this president is hollowing out our military and need a commander in chief

that believes in exceptionalism again. >> we look forward to having you for the full hour. congratulations on your announcement and best of luck to you in a very tough campaign for everybody. thank you. >> thank you, sean. coming up we need your help. tonight's question of the day, an important one. that is straight ahead. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ the ones with the guts to stand apart - join a league all their own. ♪ let's take a look at your credit. >>i know i have a 786 fico score, thanks to experian.com. so what else are you going to throw in? leather seats? >>and this... get your credit swagger on. become a member of experian credit tracker and find out your fico score powered by experian.
